hi all:
when I use "git svn" to checkout some repositories, it shows below error

Removing duplicate objects: 100% (256/256), done.
error: git checkout-index: unable to create symlink
linux-kernel/linux-3.0.20/arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts (File
name too long)
Checking out files: 100% (42191/42191), done.
read-tree -m -u -v HEAD HEAD: command returned error: 128
$

Does that mean there is a limitation about directory depths when using
"git svn"?
