Maximum file path length in TFS Team Build

Hi again... A couple of days ago I told you about the fact that at my work we changed the structure of our source control solution in our source control. We added some branches and basically recreated the entire folder structure we use in our projects.

However we hit an issue when we configured our team builds. We use fairly long folder names, and a quite deeply nested folder structure which seemed to be a problem for Team Build. Team Build has a maximum file path length of 260 characters. To resolve this issue I started searching the net and found this post by Aaron Hallberg which explains pretty nicely what is going on and a couple of ways on how to work around this limitation.
