I've committed a patch that adds a "diff" command and includes a
button to press on the patch summary page.  The long comment is now
displayed below the patch name.

In this case "summary" meant a summary of all of the changes a patch
made, but I agree that it is confusing.  I changed "summary" to
"detail" which is hopefully a bit clearer.
