Long filenames are indistinguishable if they are shortened to common substring. #6256

Description

@mateusza

File names on directory listing are shortened with "..." if they are too long. When there are multiple files with long name that differ at the very end, they may turn out to be all shortened to the same name making it hard for user to tell them apart.

Description

This could be solved by adding title= attribute with full name, so it appears on mouse hover. That's the way GitHub does it.
