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?
