AW: TortoiseSVN truncates URL shown in repo browser to 259 characters

Hi, Stefan,

>> [Long Urls are truncated in the repository explorer)
> That's a limitation of the list control. Nothing we can do about it.

> And btw: you won't be able to check out such a path on Windows anyway.
> While NTFS can handle *paths* that are longer than MAX_PATH (260 chars), each path *component* (part between backslashes of a path) must not exceed the limit specified in lpMaximumComponentLength returned by the GetVolumeInformation API, and that limit is usually only 255 chars.

That's not exactly true: The URL is truncated when its length is longer than MAX_PATH, even when none of its components is longer than 255 chars.

It is true that checking out such a directory gives me an error with TortoiseSVN:

Command: Checkout from svn://localhost/testrepo/LongPathProject/Device/Plc Logic/Application/1_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/2_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/3_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/4_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/5_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/6_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Error: URL
Error: 'svn://localhost/testrepo/LongPathProject/Device/Plc%20Logic/Application/1_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/2_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/3_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/4_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/5_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/6_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/7_abcdefg
Error: doesn't exist
Completed!:

Note that the URLs given in the checkout error message are both truncated, the Url I actually selected for checkout in the repo browser was 'svn://localhost/testrepo/LongPathProject/Device/Plc Logic/Application/1_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/2_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/3_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/4_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/5_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/6_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/7_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/8_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

However, on the command line or using SharpSVN, I can checkout aforementioned URL fine.

Stefan
