OK, when I try git checkout master, it fails with some of these errors:

    frederik@freo:~/Music$ git checkout master
    error: cannot stat 'Händel, Georg Friedrich/Oregon Bach Festival Choir & Orchestra/09. George Frideric Handel - O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion--Air (Alto)_\%George Frideric Handel - The Messiah (feat. Oregon Bach Festival Choir & Orchestra -Rilling) (Disc 1 of 2)\%_%Händel, Georg Friedrich%Oregon Bach Festival Choir & Orchestra%.flac': File name too long

These filenames have been created by git annex when creating the view. The original one is rather long too:

    09. George Frideric Handel - O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion--Air (Alto).flac

In directory:

    Music/George Frideric Handel - The Messiah (feat. Oregon Bach Festival Choir & Orchestra -Rilling) (Disc 1 of 2)

It looks like this has something to do with the problem.

When I do git clean -fd, I only have the 2 directories left as created by the view. I still can't do git annex vpop anymore, as the reply is that I'm not in a view anymore.

Some more info on that one file:
