Allow manipulating files with long names on Windows

Windows by default has a PATH_MAX of 260 characters. A while ago the
"store" format was added which allows repositories on Windows to
contain very long paths. At the time, a patch was proposed,
"longpath.patch" which enabled handling of those files in the working
copy but it was tabled.
