> just restrict filenames to 255 bytes and nesting to 255 levels, which limits paths to 64KB at most. Anyone trying to use git repositories exceeding either of those limits should be considered insane.
Funny, because I've actually been locked up for being insane five times. Speaking from experience, they'd only consider me insane if I said something like 255 was an important number because there are two sides to every problem and five fingers on each hand, and the path, which two feet take, is six one way / half a dozen the other, to the four corners of the earth, which is the natural limit.
So... you don't really know what insane is. Jus' sayin'.
As someone who has also spent time in a mental institution, I just want to say that I really think you need to be less sensitive on this one. That's just an expression and not in any way aimed at people who have mental illness.
