Problem in TortoiseGit

I can't find any question asked online so I decide to post a new question. You can see the problem in the picture The file does exist but TortoiseGit say the opposite.

Any help is appreciated.


Solution

  • TortoiseGit is not capable of handling pathnames longer than 260 chars in all cases (as of version 2.3.0). This seems to be one of the case where it doesn't work, see https://tortoisegit.org/issue/1017.

    With the next version (>= 2.3.6) this specific problem will be solved.
