Sorry Stefan, but I'm the wrong person to ask about this. However, from Milan's original post:
"Then I tried to commit changes in chunks (I did not change any path or file name), which finally worked. I had 285 files to commit."

Note that he also said: "This file in its path is far away from the longest name in project..."
This implies that files with longer pathnames successfully committed. However, it's up to Milan to confirm or deny this.

Part of the problem is that the rules very much depend on which version of Windows is being used. Back in 2004/2005, XP was the bees' knees. (Mind you, I'm typing this on a machine that's still running XP.) Nowadays, things are somewhat different. The next OS produced by MS was a 64-bit one, with all sorts of rule (and, of course, API) changes.

It would help if Milan told us more details, such as the exact platform (which Windows?) and the exact commands entered.

We know the SVN version from this: "C:\srdev\tool\SVN_CLIENT_1.8.8\svn.exe"

Regards,

Geoff
