@cindex unique buffer names
@cindex directories in buffer names
When several buffers visit identically-named files, Emacs must give

In contrast, the @code{post-forward} naming method would call the

+method @code{post-forward-angle-brackets} is like @code{post-forward}
+except that it prepends the unique path in angle brackets. The
@code{reverse} naming method would call them @samp{Makefile\tmp} and
@samp{Makefile\zaphod}. The nontrivial difference between
@code{post-forward} and @code{reverse} occurs when just one directory
name is not enough to distinguish two files; then @code{reverse} puts
the directory names in reverse order, so that @file{/top/middle/file}
becomes @samp{file\middle\top}, while @code{post-forward} puts them in

Which rule to follow for putting the directory names in the buffer
name is not very important if you are going to @emph{look} at the
