Old description:

> But it's stricter than that: any path component causes the path to be

New description:

 It seems to me that the release note for 2.2.21 is incomplete.  It says,
 "Specifically, empty file names and paths with dot segments will be
 rejected."

 But it's stricter than that: any path component causes the path to be
 rejected:

 {{{
 if name != os.path.basename(name):
     raise SuspiciousFileOperation("File name '%s' includes path elements"
 % name)
 }}}


 Is this level of strictness necessary?
