My main motive was to not *stop* the process when a long path is met.
Because somebody created a repository on Linux with a long file-name
doesn't mean you should not be able to clone it *at all* on Windows.

That should be handled at the Windows compatibility layer if Windows
cannot handle long paths as Linux

Naah... PATH_MAX is a silly, arbitrary limit. The Git data model does
not forbid paths longer than PATH_MAX, be it 4096 or 260. A generic
solution is needed.

(or maybe at higher level to skip
checking out those paths).

More like this, yeah.
