This is not what I get with Info-breadcrumbs-depth = 4. Instead, I see
the full line like below:

Now I incremented the default value to 4, so with the maximal depth of 4
actually there is no eliding now by default. In my tests, the length
of the breadcrumbs line rarely approaches 80 columns. However, if this
will cause a real problem then maybe instead of the number of nodes
Info-breadcrumbs-depth should specify the maximal length of the breadcrumbs
line measured in characters (this is easy to calculate).

OK, now removed the initial `> '.
