I've never understood why github shows the first line of the most recent commit for files / folders next to their name instead of the first line of any README.md file inside the folder.

Even on projects that I'm actively working on, the most recent commit of a folder gives me no useful information, whereas if I could edit the README.md I could atleast add a description of each folder so that new users could understand the directory structure better.

Same thought; I would love if there were a way to toggle between "latest commit message" and "first line of documentation for the file", depending on whether it's a familiar project or a new one I'm browsing.
