Basically after doing /home directory encryption with eCryptfs because of required security reasons of my client now when I tried to pull latest master I received such error: "filename" File name too long. The file is actually missing now and if I proceed to commit it will disappear (as deleted). As I understood the reason is file name limitation (143 characters start requiring >255 characters to encrypt) of the encryption. The question is is there any way to workaround that? The file name is really long.
