The above is not needed, unless you are sending a patch on behalf of other author or use different email: then you need to provide "From:" only.

> Subject: [PATCH] Fixed improper use of "it's" when it should be "its"

You can use subject of email for that.

The oneline description of commit (commit summary) should include name of subsystem, e.g.:

  Subject: [PATCH] gitweb(1): Fixed improper use of "it's" when it should be "its"

or just

  Subject: [PATCH] Fixed improper use of "it's" in gitweb(1) manpage
