What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add to your vimrc: set backupdir=~/tmp/vimbackupdir//
2. cd /some/dir
3. vim somefile
4. :w
What is the expected output?
~/tmp/vimbackupdir/ should have a filename with embedded path info so that you
can edit the same filename in different directories without overwriting. The
same way that "set directory" handles it for swap files.
What do you see instead?
Files in backupdir have only the filename.
