Is it possible to keep the path a bit shorter? SlikSVN on windows barfs on this...

I have this kind of problems as well . I use very short path for the root of my checkout - c:\devel\gatein in order to stay within reviled 260 MAX_PATH limit.

Mounting a path as a new drive also helps:

subst p: c:\devel\gatein

cd p:
