RE: Re: Bug report: SubWCRev fails for long paths

Hm, apparently APR decides (in utf8_to_unicode_path() of file_io/win32/open.c) that paths longer than 248 characters should be prefixed with "\\?\". This magic prefix tells Windows to turn off ".." expansion and relax checking of MAX_PATH limits. Unfortunately it doesn't bother to expand "..".
