I have a branch of the current tla code at

john@arbash-meinel.com--tla-2004/tla--short-path--1.3

My archive is available on the supermirror at:
http://mirrors.sourcecontrol.net/john@arbash-meinel.com--tla-2004

I also have a public repo if the super mirror doesn't update often 
enough. It does have the latest code right now, though.

I just got it (today) to the point where it seems to handle all the 
cases I throw at it. You can still run into path limitations if you have 
really long category names or archive names (in my case I have something 
with ~30 chars for each which causes problems.)

For it, I believe you need diff, diff3, patch, tar, gzip, and ssh. I'm 
not sure if there is anything else.

I run cygwin, and have never really had the need to setup Msys. If you 
have that, do you want to try compiling?

You need to use "configure --with-short-paths=1".

If you're interested, thanks. If not, no big deal.

John
