As it said, filename is too long. See the FAQ: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions and the thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.msysgit/14572

If you want reliable and direct help I suggest you hire a git-consult or buy support. This list will help you in the best way it can (and mostly that's enough) but cannot do things "asap".

This is a limitation of Git for Windows: the standard Windows API which works with unmangled filenames limits their length to 260 characters while your particular entry is 262 characters long.

AFAIK, there's no clean/easy way to make use of "extended" Windows API which requires mangling filenames by adding the "\\?\" to them.

You could read [1] for more details.

So it seems you have two options for now:

* Restructure the project.
* Use Git under Cygwin [2] which might not have this limitation
  (personally, I do not know whether it does).

P.S.

Please next time you ask consider doing two things:
* If you post your message to several groups, take care to mention this
  fact in each of them.
* Do not require anyone to do anything "ASAP" unless this claim is
  backed by your or your employer's wallet.

Okay, the Microsoft Word document with two screenshots has been scrubbed by the list software but passed through the git-users list where you posted this as well; answering here.

The errors shown there most probably has the same nature: Git failed to create a filesystem entry while attempting to check out a revision after cloning the project. So the error is not about cloning, it's about checking out actual files to the work tree.

The rest is explained in my first reply.
