We ran into this issue over a year ago when a Build process failed because of it. The max file path length accepted is around 260 characters and that is easy to bump into
especially with multiple nested directories I was looking at our TFS Source
code container the other day noticed folders such as "Release" and
"R". I asked what "R" was? It is our current attempt to shrink the lengths of all folders to avoid the 260 character limit. Similar butchering is evident in other folder names. My response was "TINA" ("This Is Not Acceptable")<o:p></o:p>
Has this issue been fixed in TFS 2012? Are there any Microsoft workarounds?
TIA,
