TortoiseGit/Windows10 - Long File Name Support?

When TortoiseGit was built, did it have an application manifest with 'longPathAware=TRUE'? Does the Window10 implmentation of TortoiseGit really support long file names?

(I don't want to build TortoiseGit from source code, I am interested in an answer to this question as it applies to the precompiled version of TortoiseGit for Windows 10.)

TortoiseGit is not yet long path aware as some dependencies are not (as of 2.12.0).

Just having set longPathAware=TRUE won't help, also all buffers need to be long enough.
