+&gt;&gt; This is an ext4 filesystem with default settings (which appears to mean
+&gt;&gt; 256 bytes for pathnames).  Despite the error saying file name, it&#39;s
+&gt;&gt; definitely a path issue since moving my test repo to `/tmp`from
+&gt;&gt; `/home/jon/wd/mine/www` hides the problem. I note the following comment
+&gt;&gt; in `aggregate.pm`:
+
+       # Make sure that the file name isn&#39;t too long. 
+       # NB: This doesn&#39;t check for path length limits.
+
+&gt;&gt; I don&#39;t fully grok the aggregate source yet, but I wouldn&#39;t rule out
+&gt;&gt; a bug in the path length checking, personally.  I&#39;m happy to try and
+&gt;&gt; find it myself though :) -- &#91;&#91;Jon&#93;&#93;
