## I get errors trying to check out files with long path names.
87-
Windows file paths are by default limited to 255 characters. Some repositories may have committed files which contain paths longer than the limit. By default, *Git for Windows* does not support long paths, and will print errors when trying to perform any operation on a long file name. Set the configuration property `core.longpaths` to true to allow certain Git operations to properly handle these files. See [this wiki page](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Git-cannot-create-a-file-or-directory-with-a-long-path) for more information.
