So I agree that:

  "net: wireless: broadcom: b43: main"

... seems unnecessarily long and verbose.  However, IMHO:

  "b43:"

... is too short and not forthcoming enough.  Obviously this fine when
something like `git log -- net/wireless`, as you already know what the
patch pertains to, however when someone who is not in the know (like I
would be) does `git log` and sees a "b43:" patch, they would have no
idea which subsystem this patch is adapting.  Even:

  "wireless: b43:"

... would be worlds better.

A Git log which omitted all subsystem tags would be of limited use.

I see.  Thanks for the clarification.
