sbt
Unnecessary recompilation with long nested type names under -Xmax-classfile-name
steps
sbt version: 1.3.4 (and 1.3.3) but sbt 1.2.8 works as expected (scala 2.12.8)
problem
Files with nested types whose combined names are longer than a certain limit are seen as always needing recompilation by sbt (invalidated). For me, -Xmax-classfile-name=80 gives a limit of 65 characters: at or beyond that my test file always gets recompiled.
package foo
object ABCD45678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 {
class ABCD
}
object Test {
val _ = new ABCD45678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789.ABCD
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 65 characters long ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
}
expectation
When unchanged, the file should not be recompiled no matter how long the type names inside. This was the behaviour under sbt 1.2.8

I can also reproduce the problem (with an even longer name) without setting -Xmax-classfile-name at all, including under scala 2.13 where that's not an option. Again it's a problem for sbt 1.3.4 but not for 1.2.8.
