I typically use vc-dwim, which does that already. That is partly why I haven't 
bothered adding a separate linter step to build-aux/git-hooks/commit-msg. It'd 
be nice if the check were there for everybody.

vc-dwim also has the converse check. That is, it checks that every file affected 
by the commit is mentioned in the commit message. I prefer this check too, 
though I'm not sure everyone else would.
