When calling Subversion with relative paths there is a limit of 255
characters to the path length. If you call Subversion with an absolute path
that no longer applies and you now have access to 32K chars. I have tried this
myself and it does work. Try feeding SVN a path that is relative and is over
255 chars. It will not be able to complete the transaction. Now, try to the
same path again only as an absolute path and it will successfully complete the
transaction. Here is a link to the forum where I found this information:
