rsync: skipping overly long name


Hello,

I am trying to use rsync to copy a directory tree to a remote host, and I
get the following message:

skipping overly long name: WBI-Web-Site Drawings

I tried to google it, and it seems that the limit is is MAXPATHLEN. It also
seems that MAXPATHLEN is smaller under cygwin than under other systems.

Is this true?
What is the limit?
Is there a way that I can come around it (other than renaming my files ;-)?

Thanks,
Morten
