Hmm... Okay.

We have '%pD'(no digit following) for printing a filename. It may not be
perfect (by default it only prints one component.

%pD4 should be more than good enough, but we should make plain "%pD" mean
"as much of the path that is reasonable" rather than "as few components as
possible" (ie 1).

Sorry, but from above I didn't get why.

The commit message tells only about %pD, but patch changes behaviour
of the ~100 or so users of "%pd" without any explanation.

Besides that the patch is prepended only by one change (which is also
not related to %pD), while we have ~30 users which behaviour got
changed.
