Windows for git can't work with a directory having a name with greater than 255 characters. This clone option will add core.longpaths as true in git config globally, which will enable mysys git to work with directories having >255 char names. The addition is supported by both command line git and jgit.

Not sure if that matters, but linting needs to be taken care of in this line.
