Please, no. Two reasons:
1. You're dangerously close to exceeding 80 characters, and those
paths aren't *nearly* the deepest in our tree.
2. You just prepended half a line of info that is redundant across
the set of all such lines.
If we're really going to go this route, then folks, it's time to break
out the MIME dual HTML/plaintext mail generation code. You can make
short paths be links to long URLs, etc. Pretty graphics. I'm talking
Java FS history node graphs. Flash animations, blinking text, CSS,
DHTML, and ROTFL ...
If you don't stop me, I'll be forced to stop myself.
