Can not git clone the repo about appjs-deskshell HOT 5 CLOSED

I get the same issue checking out on a windows machine. In my checkout I see that the following folder is created:
\bin\mac\Chromium.app\Contents\Versions\13.0.782.218\Chromium Framework.framework\Internet Plug-Ins\Flash Player Plugin for Chrome.plugin\Contents
but no Resources folder under that.

It seems to be saying it is trying to checkout the file to: Resources/PreferencePaneHost.app/Contents/Resources/ under the Flash Player Plugin for Chrome.plugin\Contents\ directory. Can it be that the folders have wrong permissions or something like that when checking in the changes to version control?

I thought the path might be too long, but I tried checking out to the C:\ drive directly and it failed at exactly the same point.

OK I just went in manually and did a force checkout, This failed at the same place, but managed to create the folders
Contents\Resources\PreferencePaneHost.app\Contents\Resources\Flash Player.prefPane
I then tried to create the folder "Contents" and I get the error: "The filename(s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the filename and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path.". This folder was checked out directly to the C:\ drive.

So the problem is that the file paths are too long for windows machines to cope with!

You perfectly discovered a UNIX and Windows difference by their core:
- Windows' filename length is short.
- UNIX has up to 255 characters in a file name.
I belive Windows' was ...100? I cannot remember. But just count the path that the error gives you and it may tell you the length.
Alternatively, download a ZIP archive from the page, that should do it.
