I probably would have an easier time interpreting the following
adjusted text ("vfs_" added) on https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/ :

Branch	Commit message	Author	Age
main	vfs_cache: modification and last entry filling support in =
lockless lookup v2	Mateusz Guzik	9 min.

instead of what actually displays:

Branch	Commit message	Author	Age
main	cache: modification and last entry filling support in lockless =
lookup v2	Mateusz Guzik	9 min.

All the following are not automatically very specific when I read such, =
even
in combination:

cache
modification
last entry fulling support
lockless lookup

so the "vfs" would have helped me.

Unfortunately, it just looks difficult to consistently have one line =
summaries
that well narrow down things. It is too easy to presume context not =
shared with
those that are just reading the text or having to make character-count =
tradeoffs.
If I were a committer I'd have the exact same difficulty.
