I somehow find this solid wall of text extremely hard to
read. Adding a blank line as a paragraph break may make it easier to
read, perhaps.

Also it is customary in our history to omit the full-stop from the
patch title on the Subject: line.

Logic up to this point seems good; drop {} around a single statement
"return;", i.e.

	if (name_len <= name_width)
        	return; /* everything fits */

(mental note) ... otherwise, i.e. with a short common prefix, the
final result will be "ab{SOMETHING}SOMETHING", which is also fine
for the purpose of the remainder of this function.

In our code, comma does not come at the beginning of continued
line.

It would be clearer to explicitly set remainder to zero here, and
omit the initialization of the variable.  That would make what the
three parts of if/elseif/else do more consistent.

I am not sure if distributing the burden of truncation equally to
three parts so that the resulting pieces are of similar lengths is
really a good idea.  Between these two

	{...SourceDirectory => ...nationDirectory}...ileThatWasMoved 
	{...ceDirectory => ...ionDirectory}nameOfTheFileThatWasMoved

that attempt to show that the file nameOfTheFileThatWasMoved was
moved from the longSourceDirectory to the DestinationDirectory, the
latter is much more informative, I would think.

Does this have to be i18ngrep?  I had a feeling that we would not
want this part of the output localized, in which case "grep" may be
more appropriate.
