You are deliberately misunderstanding me.

If your patch series contained *one* patch whose intent was to prepare for
a libified 'apply', yes, indeed, I would think that it would make for a
fine commit subject. Especially if the other patches tried to do
completely unrelated things. Then your "low-level" change would really
benefit from a "high-level" commit message: the "low-level" aspect is seen
easily enough in the patch itself, thankyouverymuch.

It really misrepresents my comment to pretend that I had tried to
suggest something as utterly confusing as identically repeated commit
subjects.

Ciao,
Johannes
