add-libs, etc in clojure 1.12 alphas causing "The filename or extension is too long" on windows

Question

Using the new add-libs on Windows I seem to keep getting

CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long error.

This is possibly related to a similar issue caused by long classpath strings, but I'm getting this error when using add-libs, even when adding the same dependencies to my deps.edn and restarting my repl would not cause the error.

This is covered in https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJ-2769 and will be fixed in the next alpha.
