People do view the overall logs of a project and it is useful. If you
don't then your ways of working are limited and you shouldn't rely on
your own experience to tell what is useful in commit messages.

You can at most append the filenames, but that does not work well. If
all commits were to a single file and every file was like "ra288.c"
(which can be identified without path and has clearly defined
functionality) then it would be mostly OK, but that is not the case for
all commits and files, and so it's not a good system overall.

To me it sounds more like you're NOT thinking about it and just
insisting on doing it "the way you've always done".
