I'm often frustrated by this convention as well. I end up having to hit tab multiple times because there are several months and many days of log files in these directories. Those keystrokes add up and it's often no faster to use tab than it is to just type the full filename. If, on the other hand, one could type "less lo<TAB>/lo<TAB>", I could work faster and more efficiently. I don't find this question insignificant at all. I'd like to know the answer myself.
