I am not sure whether this is a ddd bug, misconfiguration, or something
else, but please keep in mind that it is also rather annoying and time
consuming for some of us to deal with duplication of information in file
names.

In the ideal world, all tools would understand that there are such
things as directories. For now, we have to pick between some tools
getting confused and some developers wasting time on information
duplication (with all its side effects).

Cheers,

Alex.
