The analysis is required in any case.  That doesn't mean it is necessary
to mention it in the log message; because even if the analysis is hard
work, in this case it is straight-forward.  IOW, the size of the log
message doesn't have to reflect the amount of work done for the patch.

If you feel your work needs more representation, that can be done by
different means.
