I think for changes like the examples below[1], multi-file commits
make sense, because the changes are closely related.

I could most probably find more such examples in Gnus.  When I
investigated which bug-fixes from the Gnus trunk need to be merged
into the stable branch and when I merged the Gnus changes done on
Emacs' repository back to Gnus' repository, multi-file commit messages
helped me to identify related changes in other files.

Bye, Reiner.
