Shortening the test +directory name to say `c:/Users/jkniiv/annx/annx` allows the test suite to pass in older versions +of git-annex all other things considered equal. So far I have been running the built-in tests +always in 'c:/annx' (/c/annx in Git Bash) but here on forward I'll probably start using a deeper +path somewhere in my user folder / home directory just to catch possible future regressions in long +path handling. In any case, @Joey, congratulations 🎉 are in order for your fine achievement from +a Windows user point of view. :) + +"""]]
