After reading up on the error, it seems that this is a problem that can occur on Windows machines due to an old Windows API that limited filenames to 260 characters.

A solution to this error should be for the user to enter 'git config core.longpaths true' in their repo to treat the issue for this project. If wanting to apply this solution to all the user's repos, the option 'git config --system core.longpaths true' or 'git config --global core.longpaths true' could be used. The 'global' option would apply the change to all the repos for the current user while the 'system' option would result in the change for all users of the system.
