I've whipped up a preliminary python script "winrm.py" which can delete
long path trees on Windows:

Available here:
http://www.cadifra.com/cgi-bin/repos/winrm/file/tip/winrm.py

Disclaimer:

Usage:
python winrm.py C:\path\to\directory

without option -y, it will do a dry run only, listing the
files and directories it will delete if you call it with -y.

The path must be specified as a *full* path (including drive specifier).

No documentation available yet (see the source).

With this script, local clones of for example:

http://www.cadifra.com/cgi-bin/repos/long2/
http://www.cadifra.com/cgi-bin/repos/auxtest2/

can be removed. explorer.exe cannot these.
