Change your local workspace mappings so that you are working on the root of an external drive - you might be able to claim back a few characters to get it done. Developers can then use alternate workspace mappings as well.
It is all down to local file system limitations. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Livengood Sent: Friday, 6 March 2009 12:15 PM To: ozTFS Subject: Getting Error TF10176 in TFS 2005 We are still working in TFS 2005 and I need to be able to branch a project from a particular changeset. The only problem is we have some files in our projects with guids in the names and because of this TFS keeps throwing me this error: TF10176: The path for 'project path' exceeded the limit of 248 characters for a directory, or 260 for a directory and file name. Then it lists all of the offending files with their paths. Because of this, the attempt to branch into a new empty TFS project fails. It seems ironic that developers can check these files in but I can't really do anything in terms of a branch with them. Does anybody know of a way to get around this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
