git checkout-index: unable to create file (File name too long)

Question

I check out my repository but there is a file with too long file name:

~/git$ git clone git+ssh://server/git/ma.git
Initialized empty Git repository in ~/git         


        

Answer 1

You might need to disable home directory encryption or checkout outside like /tmp

I think it limits the filename size to 144 characters.
