Re: Problems with the size of file`s path

The limitation is not in the repository, but is in the working copy path as
you said.

Here, all the subversion clients run at windows and all the working copy are
stored at D:\Svn. The users have the habit to sincronize all the repository.

I would like to limit at repository, blocking all the commits wich add files
that its path are great than X characteres. Doing this, we prevent many
problems to happen caused by this problem. This is not a complete solution,
but is enough to us.
