Description

When attempting to index my codebase in a WSL backed dev container, the indexer fails with a
Generic LocalFileSystem error: Unable to create dir error
digging in, I think it has to do with the length of the folder being created.

Max limit for windows folders is 260 characters, folder attempted to be created is:

I attempted to enabled longPathNames, but that appears to have no effect in more recent versions of windows

To reproduce

1. clone git repo to container volume
2. witness log error in developer tools logging

@Lavaerius thanks for the report
Thinking solution. might be to truncate to LAST < 260 characters

Yeah there's no reason it needs to be the full path name just something unique.

Is this something you'd be able to contribute @Lavaerius ? I believe the fix would be here: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/blob/main/core/indexing/LanceDbIndex.ts#L83-L85
