Vim displays the cwd in its directory navigation, so the benefits of 
repeating path components aren't great.

Many of us use the *entire* current-working-directory in our shell 
prompts, and this is the default on major Linux distributions.  Such 
paths are ugly and awkward in this context.

They are also more difficult to navigate than necessary-- they 
more-or-less demand tab completion.
