Workaround: Enable long paths in the windows registry. See
<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247#maxpath>
It would be good to make git-annex enable that automatically, perhaps by
using the manifest file that is described on that page. I don't know
how to make windows use such a manifest file. It seems to have to be
embedded into the exe file. GHC has a open ticket to get it to do that:
<https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13373>

That sounds like this bug:
<http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/__34__git-annex__58___direct__58___1_failed__34___on_Windows/>
Windows has some path length issues that come up especially when using
git-annex in a deeply nested directory tree. Try cloning the repository to
somewhere like c:\\ and see if that works around the problem.
