</div>There's even a 4th option that doesn't require any code change. Create a OGR<br>
VRT file that renames the source fields to the truncated shapefile field names (or<br>
the reverse : creates a OGR VRT that renames the truncated shapefile field names<br>
to the original field names, since OGR VRT now supports since a few versions<br>
CreateFeature())<br>

Actually I would prefer to include at least a flag to indicate that ogr2ogr should provide mapping the fields in the same order (don't lookup field index by name) for example:</div>
