File name too long while cloning.

When I am trying to clone the repo, the repository, I encounter this problem:

Receiving objects: 100% (1826/1826), 4.51 MiB | 600.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (401/401), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
fatal: cannot create directory at 'APIAuthorization/CustomAuthLambda/node_modules/jsonwebtoken/node_modules/jws/node_modules/base64url/node_modules/meow/node_modules/indent-string/node_modules/repeating/node_modules/is-finite/node_modules/number-is-nan': Filename too long
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

Is there a way we can shorten the very long file hierarchy?
My root folder isn't too big, it's actually "d:\OS_CODE_BASES\terraform_demo" shouldn't be a problem.

I was on Windows using msys. Using the following solved the problem:

git config --system core.longpaths true

This issue can be closed, it's a very windows specific problem.
