The default emacs mode line indicator (the primary identifier, IMHO) does a 
poor job of indicating the differences between cases like these.   Start emacs 
-q and load up a theoretical `lisp/project.el' and it's test suite 
`test/project.el' -- it can be difficult to tell them apart.

I've long since adopted a different mode line format to address this problem, 
and list-/ibuffers addresses this somewhat, but there are still places (such as 
switch-to-buffer) where it crops up often enough that I'm totally unsurprised 
to see the information added to the file name.

Hope that helps,
