The filenames are too long for Windows #3

The paths in the data directory are too long for Windows to handle, e.g., data/Benchmark datasets 64e0439269f9497799025562a4087ce1/SNAP (Stanford Network Analysis Platform) 1cd77eaee57147ce8263b2f9eaa2589c/Children of SNAP 3e818a7183654308b6df67c82c1be9fa/Amazon Product Co-purchasing networks e0dbc308da9a4aacb6e02529fcd908a4.md This prevents cloning to Windows. This happens even when cloning to a really short path, e.g., C:\tmp\jv. It does work with using git within WSL though.

We should at least specify this restriction in the README file here, but a better solution would be to have paths w/o all that extra UUID or whatever makes up the file and directory names.

I added a warning about this in the updated readme file in c2dcdcef70b0b709d1d5425e56057fbb8ea4e4bf

Running git config --system core.longpaths true with admin rights fixed this! It's still gross :-)
