[Rdiff-backup-bugs] [bug #27327] Exception thrown if filename too long (on Windows)

[Emanuel]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27327 (project rdiff-backup):

rdiff-backup seems to be using the old api for windows file access, which
limits paths to MAX_PATH (a bit less than 260) characters. Is this behaviour
by design?

It would be very welcome if rdiff-backup would print the warning but still
backup the file anyway using the new, unicode api for file access that
supports around 32000 characters.

The user should not be creating such long paths and rdiff-backup is right to
complain about it, but simply not backing up the file might be too much of a
punishment.
