Well, we just followed suit of the descriptions of other pretty formats, and they all say "<title line>". On a related note, the description of the '%s' format specifier in the same document is "subject", not "title". Perhaps they should be made consistent, but I'm not sure. I like that '%s' means "subject", because the first letter matches, but some man pages (commit, format-patch, am) make difference between a subject and a title.
