Have a large vs solution.<p>Have a TFS build server that puts your cloned projects at not-the-top-of-the-filesystem.<p>It&#x27;s very easy to hit that limit. It&#x27;s atrocious and a joke. And Microsoft has paid me as an employee to write some ridiculous stupid workarounds for it in completely 100% managed C# code that shouldn&#x27;t be bound by such stupid legacy decisions.<p>I hate MAX_PATH with a passion. It&#x27;s one of those things that basically forces a hacky solution every, god, damn, time.
