This has come up before, and I keep meaning to write a little script to
check all the names in a directory to see if any are too long. To be run
before each release (when a bunch of other checks are run).
Just haven't gotten around to it. Let's see - "ls -1 -R" will get the
filenames.
Is there a regular expression I can use with grep to pick out the ones
longer that 31 characters? Maybe -v -E "^.{1,31}$" ?
I'll try to add something to the release checklist.
