I kind of agree and disagree at the same time. Microsoft provide file system access which is not impacted by MAX_PATH and that is what git is using when it writes to the file system. If anything I think Microsoft should fix Explorer which they kind of have in Windows 10 with the long path option. I don't know enough about why Microsoft still have the MAX_PATH problem. I am guessing, like most things Microsoft, it is due to legacy compatibility.
