"git log some-dir" is directory-based, while the commit message is based on what the commit primarily affected. In addition, you don't really want to guess what "PN: foo" means, because of name ambiguity (we have a lot of those in the tree). Anyway, this is already decided. If you want to improve the wording/reasoning in the wiki, go ahead: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_git_workflow#commit_message_format
