I'm not getting why "scope" gets any priority at all. Are filenames not attached to a commit for those exceedingly rare cases where you're looking for which files are thrashing?
Also not getting the downvotes. It's not a rhetorical question; it's a question looking for an answer. If somebody could explain why "Scope" gets should get precious space in the title of a commit, I'd be grateful. It seems inconsistent with the reasoning used to remove other pieces of information. If "feature request" or "bug fix" doesn't make it into the commit title because it's usually apparent from the description, then surely the same is true for "scope".
