This is great news!
I had tons of problems last year with that and I did not know what to do about this.
A possible solution would have been to rewrite a bit the filetree support so that it could load packages directly from the zip archive downloaded from github, instead of unpackaging it to disk. But... pushing for the windows vm so that it would use the right API is a lot better :) Thanks Nicolai, Thierry

For those who had problems with pharo on windows and github based repositories, I built a windows vm with support for long paths:

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.
