Hello cygwin,

is there any progress on the "file name too long" problem ?
I think a lot of people would like to use rsync under cygwin for backup or replication, 
but as long as cygwin can't handle long path names this is not a serious option ...

Is there at least a workaround you can recommend ?

Best regards
Klaus
