Adding the prefix seems like the easiest way to use longer paths on Windows, but changing Windows behavior would be difficult for me to test.

That is probably best left to the future guy that requires longer paths on Windows. Devs tend to checkout code directly to C:\src or similar (possibly because of the limitations?) so nobody came up with that requirement so far, to my knowledge.
