Bug Description

For each file, its corresponding file in the cache has name like filename-XXXXXX, which is 7 chars longer.
So, if the file is 250 characters long, the cache file will have to be 257 bytes long and thus cannot be created as most popular file systems like ext3, ext4 and tmpfs have 255 byte file name limit.
That means that davfs has file name limit of 255-7=248 characters which is smaller than usual 255-byte limit so not every file can be copied from ext3 fo davfs due to this limitation.
