On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473). Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length (actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of). This fixes msysGit issue 387. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
