Hi guys, Coming from an XWiki developer using Windows 7 as developing platform, fixing the path issue now won't fix the older existing tags. When you checkout an older tag with windows path issue it will be the same as it is.
I found myself using cygwin on windows or the github application. The problem with path too long in git client application comes from msysgit which uses an deprecated windows api, (Win32).
