The Linux kernel uses the same principle where the first line starts with a description of the "subsystem" that's affected. That goes back to my original message in this thread: I regularly see commit messages where the first line is only complete if you know to which (set of) file(s) the change is applied. E.g.: Avoid unnecessary call when pixel scrolling Maybe this is a change in the `pixel-scroll` package, but it could also be a change in some completely different package which happens to fix a problem that occurs when used in conjunction with pixel scrolling.
