Oh. This might be even clearer:

path_headers = module/branch/submodule/.../file

[ where /.../ means "match the rest of the segments up to the last / ]

or:

for_paths = branches/
path_headers = _/branch

[ where _ means "match, but don't generate a header for this segment";
the above also implies "ignore the rest of the path after those two
segments" ]

So in this form, you just specify the corresponding header name for
each segment of the path. Use "_" for segments to ignore, and "/.../"
to skip interim directories. For your setup:

path_headers = module/branch/submodule/.../file

For each segment name in path_headers, a corresponding header is
generated in the mail: X-$name. It might be safe to generate
X-Mailer-$name
