Description
Hello,
I'm using LibGit2Sharp and get the 'The filename or extension is too long' error when I run merge command.
repository.Merge(branch, new Signature(_credentials.Username, $@"{_credentials.Username}@gmail.com", DateTime.Now), _mergeOptions);
I've set enabling long path in win registry and windows group policy. Also in git config core.longpaths is true but issue is still reproduce. Have you any ideas for resolving this problem?
Thanks.
