".svn\tmp\text-base\" (19)
+ 85 character path (85)
+ 143 character filename (143)
+ ".svn-base" (9)
+ NUL (1)
= 257

This is one more character than Windows can handle for a path and
filename. Path and filename together (with terminating NUL) is limited
to a maximum of 256 characters (defined by MAX_PATH).
