-### What steps will reproduce the problem?
-
-I get the above with either
-
- git clone https://github.com/joeyh/git-annex
-
-or (after this fails) retrying with
-
- cd git-annex
- git checkout -f HEAD
-
-### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
-
-I am running git 1.9.0 from git (5f95c9f850b19b368c43ae399cc831b17a26a5ac in the git git repo) on Ubuntu 13.04.

-> More encfs brain-damange.
-
- One such limitation is filename length. If your underlying
- filesystem limits you to N characters in a filename, then
- EncFS will limit you to approximately 3*(N-2)/4.
-
-> It's really astounding that Ubuntu inflicts that POS on users.
-> However, I can't see that as justification for limiting the
-> git-annex repository to filenames shorter than `PATH_MAX` -- just
-> as DOS's problems with both filename length and also `:` in filenames
-> is not a good reason to mangle the repository.
->
-> In either case, it's up to the user to find a way to make it work.
-> In the DOS case, that involves using Cygwin's git. In the encfs case,
-> it presumably means checking it out into a real filesystem.
