Checkouts of dependencies with deep paths (e.g. Kastri's Demos/FCMRebooted/NotificationExtension/...) fail with "Filename too long" and "Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD'" (exit 128) when the user's git config lacks core.longpaths. The embedded go-git client did not have this limitation, so the switch to native git in 3.x surfaced it as a regression. Prepend -c core.longpaths=true to every native git invocation on Windows so installs work regardless of the user's global git config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
