Bug#806644: git-annex: can't add files with names >= 127 characters

[Michael Gold]

Package: git-annex
Version: 5.20151116-1

'git annex add' no longer works for filenames of 127 characters or more.
I have longer names in my repository, so it must be a recent regression.
A workaround is to add with a shorter name and use 'git mv'.

$ git annex add
