+In [[!commit 54ad1b4cfb1c8302f1b862cb2699ab9351e3eb5b]] I fully worked
+around this class of problems with unix-compat.
+
+I think it's reasonably likely that every access of a file in git-annex
+on Windows now goes through UNC-style normalization, allowing long
+filenames to be used. Assuming that everything in ghc base does it, which I
+think it does.
+
+So good chance this is fixed now..
