["Gavin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12994028#comment-12994028 ] 

Gavin commented on INFRA-3164:
------------------------------

I think if possible, what would be good, would be to have the few changed files as the Subject rather than the commit message. This is the same as SVN does currently, and I believe it makes for a more stable subject matter, especially if commit messages are missing or lengthy. Seeing a summary of files changed at a glance in the Subject helps one to decide whether it interests them or not.

If you think this a good change I'll take a look.
