The git email doesn't know what paths have been committed, and "just" uses the 
first line of the commit message. Many people now use

	<category>/<port>: <change summary>

as the first line of the commit message, also because "git log" doesn't show 
files by default, and convenient git-history viewers like gitk and qgit show 
the first line of the commit message in overviews. Using this format for the 
first line of a commit message (followed by one blank line) helps all 
consumers of the git tree -- you can spot a couple by me that do *not* follow 
this format as well, that was before I realised that "this can be better". (It 
does take a while to develop the muscle memory to do it this way).
