Your PATH_MAX may be a lot shorter than the PATH_MAX on the system I
created my trees on that you are reading.  Besides, you can create
arbitrarily deep tree structure without busting the limit on the
filesystem by writing tree objects by hand.

In other words, all paths shouldn't exceed PATH_MAX, but the responsiblity
to verify that is _yours_.
