You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

I'm on a Linux Mint 21.3, with an encrypted ext4+eCryptfs home directory. On my system the effective file name length limit is around 140 bytes.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/odoo-industry
sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/odoo-industry
cd /opt/odoo-industry
git clone -c core.longpaths=true git@github.com:odoo/industry.git

can you try this ?

I tried it and it doesn't work.

It is not a limitation of git, it is a limitation of my filesystem.
