Not usually, but sometimes. Eg for a branch like EMACS_23_1_RC:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00389.html

Here you can set the subject format that CVS used:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2009-07/index.html

Trunk was implicit, [EMACS_23_1_RC] was placed at the end when
appropriate.


For the purposes of Gnus scoring, I found it more useful when the
subject line contained the changed files. But this doesn't scale to
multi-file commits anyway.
