### Please describe the problem.
When I clone git-annex with:
```
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex
```
I get errors about filenames being too long and the checkout fails after the clone:
$ git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex
Cloning into 'git-annex'...

warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'
I would like to contribute, but I was a bit surprised by this problem right when I wanted to poke around in the code.
After the clone attempt running `git status` in the checkout directory produces a **huge** amount of output about deleted files and changes to the repo:
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: .ghci
deleted: .gitattributes
deleted: .gitignore
deleted: .mailmap
deleted: Annex.hs
deleted: Annex/Action.hs
deleted: Annex/AdjustedBranch.hs
...
Note that I have snipped off over 10K lines of output from above!
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Just try to clone it.
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
git-annex looks like a really promising project for my personal backups solution involving usb disks, and some external services such as Backblaze B2. I wanted to look into improving Backblaze B2 support (large file support, etc).
