Currently Spring Boot project can't be checked out on Windows due to Filename too long error. Commit d1f543fc added a file spring-boot-project/spring-boot-tools/spring-boot-gradle-plugin/src/test/resources/org/springframework/boot/gradle/tasks/buildinfo/BuildInfoIntegrationTests-notUpToDateWhenExecutedTwiceWithFixedTimeAndChangedGradlePropertiesProjectVersion.gradle which requires Git core.longpaths to be set to true.

Thanks but we are aware of that and it is also documented in CONTRIBUTING.md.
