Gitfiletree unstable on Windows

Hello

This is me again with problems with gitfiletree. In general it works just fine, but in about 50 % cases it crashes VM. It happens to me when loading via

Gofer new
    url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo40/main';
    configurationOf: 'GitFileTree';
    loadDevelopment.

Metacello new baseline:...; repository:'gitfiletree:///...'; load.

or when opening repository in Monticello.

Sometimes the crash is handled and dmp file is generated, but sometimes just Pharo.exe stops.
Using Windows 7 64-bit, VM tried 420 (latest) from 2015-03-26 and stable from 2014-05-15, images tried multiple between 40546 to 40588 and also 30864.

Here are links for dmp files: http://www.mediafire.com/download/txbxi77a4nthyxg/Pharo_dmp.zip
crash1 and 2 are from stable VM and 3 and 4 from latest VM, all from image 40588.

Using git from http://git-scm.com/ .

Would be glad to help any further if you need.

Yes Jan.
Using GitFileTree in Windows is quite a task.

On Thierry's suggestion, I had tried the following and it worked.

"An alternative solution is to load directly from github, with:

Metacello new
  baseline: 'FileTree';
  repository: 'github://dalehenrich/filetree:pharo4.0_dev/repository';
  load: 'Git' "

Try this if it helps :)

Hi and thanks for the tip, but it doesn't work for me. Running this command results in following exception:
FileDoesNotExist: File @ C:\Users\User\Pharo\images\DC-40588\github-cache\dalehenrich\filetree\pharo4.0_dev\dalehenrich-filetree-7f998e5\repository\MonticelloFileTree-Git.package\monticello.meta\version

Hey Jan

Try this:
" Metacello new
  baseline: 'FileTree';
  repository: 'filetree:///C:/Users/User/Pharo/....../dalehenrich-filetree-7f998e5/repository';
  load: 'Git'
"

Put in the path to the repository folder.

This way it loads, but unfortunately VM crashes anyway.

Hi Jan,

there is a chance the problem is in the interface GitFileTree uses to
call git on windows.

Nicolai Hess said the issue is with the path length with the API used in
the pharo VM on Windows

Short of modifying the windows Pharo VM, a solution would be for
filetree to read directly the repository from the github zip archive
(without unzipping that archive). The code to do that is in gitfiletree
in fact ;)

There is also a filesystem-like layer for archives somewhere inside
Pharo, but, I do believe it doesn't work (I'm sure I tried it... and if
I'm not using it, there is a good reason).

Sorry for replying after so much time...

What inteface is it? Is there any way I could help to find source of the problem?
