If we do this, please make sure that ellipsis happens as follows:

 - avoid ellipsis at the end of the top line, try to break naturally after the first 1 or 2 words
 - elide the start of the second line, so the final part of the name is intact

We'll need to be aware of the potential for name collisions, and be sure that we always give people some basis for telling which file is which. MPT has documented a patter for ellipsis over a single line, that will need updating for a rigorous view of multi-line ellipsis.
