Declutter directories

[GoogleCodeExporter]

By default or a flag...

Don't display lower level directory names if a higher level is too close.  
Currently if viewing a large repo or history the folder names will stack on top 
of eachother and no useful information can be read.  Being able to actually 
read the general area would be really useful.

When displaying large folder structures, maybe the labels could get smaller the 
farther from the root they are? With an option to configure how much smaller 
each step from the root should become. Could apply to files as well.

That *could* work (and would be awesome in some cases); however I'm really 
interested in a very long history of a very large repo.  I think at some point 
(I have directories 25 layers deep) you still have to give up and stop printing 
the text.

If you have a partial log file you can post it might help illustrate the 
problem and let me experiment with approaches.
