I never change directories explicitely. When you open files in other directories the prefix you strip off of the file name changes usually resulting in a longer name for the buffer than previouse. You can see the behaviour while editing Yi source code. Open a single file somewhere and the buffer name is just the files basename. Then open a file in a different directory of the Yi source tree and the path changes to a longer version. It's especially egregious if you go outside of the source tree. The buffer names can get really long then.
