You don't need to guess, you need to look at the rest of the log
message.  We cannot realistically require that everything about the
change will be clear from the summary.  Mentioning file names is, IME,
mostly a waste there, because the file name provides very little
information about the change itself, and takes quite a lot of space,
so doesn't allow to say enough about the change.
