TSVN can't handle relative paths, it simply wouldn't work. That's
because the "working directory" of TortoiseProc changes almost randomly
since it is started by the explorer process.
That means, TSVN *always* uses absolute paths.
The problem here is that even absolute paths can't exceed 260 chars. But
there's a little trick you could use:
in the checkout dialog, where the checkout path is shown, prepend "\\?\"
on that path (e.g. instead of G:\maven use \\?\G:\maven). With that, the
checkout succeeds with a nightly build of TSVN (haven't tested with the
1.4.7 release though, but I guess it should work there too).
But that's just the checkout. Update, merge, ... commands will still
suffer from the same problem. Not sure if I can do something about that.
