Windows only allows paths of a total length of 255 characters (if I
understand the reason correctly).

As a side effect I was unable to copy our linux stored CVS repository
to my machine to test-run the cvs2svn scripts. The same reason, that
the folders are too deeply nested.

You can alleviate this somewhat by shortening the working copy parent folder...

Instead of "c:\documents and settings\user\local settings\temp\target"
try "c:\work\target"

Good luck.
