Folder names too long for Windows Users

[vanderryan]

Cloning repo onto Windows machines doesn't work as folder names are too long :(

Not necessarily an issues but posting this for future users.

Ryan, please let me know which folder names you're having problems with.
Thanks,
Doug

This is what a git clone tells me:

Thanks, that's what I thought. Those files are just test data for one of the programs, so it's fine if they aren't incorporated.
