This part is actually pretty annoying.
I hacked up a script (below) which seems to do a reasonable job in most
cases.
For this patch it gives:
$ for f in $(git ls-files -m); do ./guess-prefix.py $f; done

I think those are correct except for:
- "drm:" for "drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler" which has only a single commit.
- "md:" for "drivers/md/raid1.c" which is tricked by inconsistent
usage of "md: raid1:" and "md/raid1:".
But that seems like a reasonable hit rate.
Another approach would be to have a file that defines for each subsystem
what the preferred style is, but that is likely to be a PITA to
maintain.
