Hi,

I experienced the same problem. In my case the path to the local clone is \"C:\Users\user\Documents\dev\testplay\studyforrest\". Trying to get a file within that repo (\"c:\Users\user\Documents\dev\testplay\studyforrest\stimulus\task001\annotations>git annex get german_audio_description.csv\") results in \"couldn't find path\".
More precise git annex says: \"git-annex: MoveFileEx \"..\\..\\..\\.git\\annex\\tmp\\SHA256E-s49358--49140697bfd54e0d384b30efb7256c246b99f8c2cd63a48d54078e7d03e26286.csv\" \"..\\..\\..\\.git\\annex\\objects\\885\\a97\\SHA256E-s49358--
49140697bfd54e0d384b30efb7256c246b99f8c2cd63a48d54078e7d03e26286.csv\\SHA256E-s49358--49140697bfd54e0d384b30efb7256c246b99f8c2cd63a48d54078e7d03e26286.csv\": does not exist (Das System kann den angegeb
enen Pfad nicht finden.)
failed
git-annex: get: 1 failed\"


Cloning to c:\studyforrest works.

Now, I wonder why, since none of the mentioned paths exceeds the limit of 260. But as git annex mentioned it seems to use that relative path \"..\\..\\..\\.git\\annex\ [...]\". May be it internally composes it to something like
\"c:\Users\user\Documents\dev\testplay\studyforrest\stimulus\task001\annotations\..\\..\\..\\.git\\annex\ [...]\" where the part \"stimulus\task001\annotations\..\..\..\\" is actually not needed to adress the desired file. So, if that is the case may be you could give some more room by eliminating this?
