Hi,

There were a few test files added in test262 that push the total path size 
beyond the 260 character limit on Windows machines; unfortunately, that 
makes it very difficult to build v8 because gclient sync fails with a "You 
have unstaged changes" error in test262, caused by the missing files.

If I try to manually run 'git reset --hard' in test262, this is what I'm 
seeing:

D:\work\engine\v8\test\test262\data>git reset --hard
error: unable to create file 
test/built-ins/String/prototype/split/arguments-are-objects-and-instance-is-string-first-object-have-overrided-to-string-function-and-value-of-function-that-throw-exception-second-object-have-overrided-value-of-function-that-throw-exception.js:

fatal: Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD'.

The repro steps are literally just running `fetch v8`, which fails with 
this error message:
v8\test\test262\data (ERROR)
----------------------------------------

[0:00:01] Finished running: git config remote.origin.url

12>     Please commit, stash, or reset.
Subprocess failed with return code 1.

Any tips about how to resolve this? It looks like on Windows 10 there is a 
registry hack to support filepaths longer than 260 characters, but that 
won't work on older Windows versions and it'll be a pain to configure in CI 
environments without administrative control. Can I temporarily hold back 
test262?

Thank you!
