> 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: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.4/firstrun/.
