I want to weigh in with a +1 on letting patches start with trac_. I
use it so that patches in a directory on my machine are grouped
together -- it's much easier to see them and move them around that
way, because then trac_* picks them up. I also use a system similar to
John Cremona, it seems -- patches named random_thing.patch are
half-finished things, and trac_xxxx-descr.patch are ready to get
uploaded. (So I can't just use *.patch -- it'll pick up both kinds of
patches.)

Of course, I'm also +10 on having the ticket number and a short
description, as everyone else commented, but that seems to be
unanimous on this thread.
