	Regression: `Info-breadcrumbs-depth' should show `File:' without
	".info" suffix
Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 14:00:25 -0700

emacs -Q
 
Set option `Info-breadcrumbs-depth' to 0.
 
Visit an Info node.  You will see something like this:
 
 File: elisp.info,  Node: Introduction
 
We should not be displaying the suffix ".info".  The "file" name here is
intended to indicate which manual you are in.  Showing the ".info"
suffix is a distraction that reflects the implementation, and it wastes
space.  This is a (minor) regression.

>> I agree with Stefan - please elide the suffix in Emacs, at least.
