Directory structure too deep to do a git commit on Windows

[brendanarnold]

There is a particular file which is too deeply nested in NodeUnit for Windows to handle when doing a git add. The offending file is

node_modules/grunt-contrib-nodeunit/node_modules/nodeunit/node_modules/tap/node_modules/runforcover/node_modules/bunker/node_modules/burrito/node_modules/uglify-js/test/unit/compress/expected/array1.js

The potentially could be others but it causes a fatal error when running git add -A :/

The limit is 260 characters and is documented here

The error raised is the one discussed in this Stackoverflow question

Node core issue: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6960

Also, you can file a bug with uglify-js asking not to include tests in the npm package.
