This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* dropunused: Make more robust when trying to drop an object that has

(This could be due to a bug in git-annex, or an incompatability
with utilities, such as git, installed on this system.)

+Ok, this involves where the test suite is run.
+The addurl test adds `file://`pwd`/somefile`, and that will create a file
+with a name like `_home_you_sub_dir_path_here_somefile`. Which can easily
+exceed filename length limits of 255 bytes.
+
+There was indeed a reversion in addurl's handling of that.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
That’s just a little hiccup in, up to now, various months of merry use! ;-)

+I can reproduce this.

+
+The problem is not the length of the link target, which is only 170
+characters and will work on any OS. The basename of the symlink
+being created is pretty long, 294 characters, and that's the
+cause of the failure.
+
+ joey@darkstar:~>ln -s /dev/null $(perl -e 'print ("a" x 294)')
+ ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa’ -> ‘/dev/null’: File name too long
+
+The limit is 255 characters in a single path component (`pathconf _PC_NAME_MAX`).
+
+So, the issue is caused by the rss feed having a long title for this
+item.
+
+And this used to work; it's a recent reversion. Fixing.
