To illustrate what commit messages in typical Git repositories look like:

http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=commitdiff;h=8d2dfc49b199c7da6faefd7993630f24bd37fee0

(answering a link with a link is okay, I think.)

The point is that nobody needs to sift through long and dispersed 
discussions with a lot of points that are moot in the end.  If more than 
one person reads the summary of the discussions in the commit message, the 
overall saved time (integrated over all involved people) is substantial.

Will shut up now,
