Description

To prevent Redmine's storage_path's (by default: File.join RAILS_ROOT, 'files') index growing too large (we have so many file-s there, that accessing to the this directory was getting to become slow).

Files already present in the storage will still available, but the newly uploaded file will be storeg in a subdirectory.

The directory structure: RAILS_ROOT/files/1004/25/100425124312_filname_or_hash.extension.

Happy pathcing :)
