# If you are using Windows as your Vagrant host OS, there is a limitation in Windows where any given folder path
# cannot be more than 260 characters long. This becomes a problem with Vagrant because, for example, if you 
# install a Linux guest environment and try to create a deep directory structure in a synced folder, Linux will
# throw errors. This is because the synced folder is under the constraints of the Windows host. A common example
# of this happening is when installing node.js modules. NPM is known for creating some very long, deep
# folder paths because each node depenency has it's own dependencies, which have their own dependencies, etc...
#
# This gist solves the problem and works around the Windows 260 character path limit. Add it to your Vagrantfile.
#
# NOTE: This bug in Vagrant was fixed in 1.7.3, but reverted back in 1.7.4 due to some regression bugs.
