For those who had problems with pharo on windows and github based repositories,

I built a windows vm with support for long paths:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8yEahnuIem2bmxwdzJuUXFxVGM/view?usp=sharing

For browsing directories with large paths (FileList or Inspect),
you may need one additional change in the image (But I am not really sure about that) :

DiskStore>>initialize
������ super initialize.
������ maxFileNameLength := Smalltalk vm maxFilenameLength ifNil: [ 32767 ].

please test and give feedback.

This wasn't as easy as I thought, and I had to make some more changes

for the file permissions (the stat-functions don't work for files with long paths).

Please test other file/folder operations.
