I'll take the previous example, so in one of the commits if I do a git
log --name-status
I get this

This looks ugly and files in various subsystems were changed making
it impossible to infer which subsystem's behaviour was actually
changed.

Consider a commit that makes several minor changes to sympy/core.
There are approximately 25 files there and if changes are made to all
of
them then it will reflect with the above command. Dont forget the
tests
too.

My original point was, that for the purposes of release documentation
I do *not*
want to see the code, I am only interested in what it does. Its
somewhat troublesome
having to see which files were modified when one can simply specify
which
folder's content was changed.

Anyway, bugfixes normally start with
issue ###: blah blah
which is clear and concise. The same can be done for non bugfix
patches.
