Hello everyone,

I would like to check if anyone is currently working on or has already submitted a patch for archive-zip.c, specifically regarding the pluralization of the "path too long" error message:

return error(_("path too long (%d chars, SHA1: %s)"), ...);

I checked lore.kernel.org as well as the commit history with `git log`, and it appears to be unclaimed. Please let me know if it is fine for me to proceed with this task.

Thanks,

Keryle

If you check lore.kernel.org and it is not present, most likely no one
is has worked on it before so, you can work.
