Constant MAX_NAME_LENGTH 

pub const MAX_NAME_LENGTH: u64 = 255; // 255u64

Re-exports of fundamental system constants.

Purpose

These constants (like HASH_LENGTH and MAX_BLOB_SIZE) are used so frequently that they are re-exported at the crate root. This saves the caller from having to write libvctrl::constants::HASH_LENGTH everywhere.

Examples

use libvctrl::HASH_LENGTH;
assert_eq!(HASH_LENGTH, 64);

The maximum allowed byte length for names (e.g., branches, tags, file entries).

Design rationale

255 bytes is a common filesystem limit for filenames. Enforcing this ensures compatibility with most mainstream filesystems when objects are checked out to disk.

Examples

use libvctrl_handler::constants::MAX_NAME_LENGTH;

assert_eq!(MAX_NAME_LENGTH, 255_u64);
