Advise clone path violations

[mwpowellhtx]

Ruh roh... Some path violations cloning the repository(ies) for reference, workflow, etc...

Keeping things internally organized is challenging with the following violations. My base directory is, /l/Source/Spikes/dotnet/aspnetcore. That's L:\... in Windows terms.

$ git clone git@github.com:dotnet/aspnetcore.git dotnet-aspnetcore-baseline/

warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

I set git config --global core.longpaths true, which allowed the clone.

SO also sound advice. Will see how the above works with Studio, Code, etc... May be that the root path needs to shorten. Which as mentioned, I loathe, but whatever. Better would be to get a handle on the violations, shorten those names/paths, ruthlessly, I might add.
