t7300: git clean -dfx must show an error with long paths
In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is quite small, but there are ways to circumvent that limit in many cases, it is very important that users be given an indication why their command failed because of too long paths when it did. This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have helped the user who reported Git for Windows' issue 521: #521 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
