You are right. The example is indeed a bit confusing. The main
difference between Emacs' and Org's converntions is in summary line. We
are less formal about and prefer shorter summaries. You can drop the
directory or even file name if it saves space and does not create
amiguity.

The most common types for summary lines are:
org-library.el: Changed this
library-name: Changed that
function-name: Fixed
variable-name: ...

Examples:

org-lint: Fix invocation with C-u prefix argument
org-cycle-hide-block-startup: Fix docstring
manual: Fix function name and key index reference
