This is just polishing bad commit messages, it doesn't make them better.<p>A commit message should tell you <i>why</i> the code changed, not summarize <i>what</i> changed. I can read a code change and see what it does, but I can only guess what caused that change to be made unless the message tells me what was in your head (unless it's a trivial commit like a typo fix)<p>See eg <a href="https://cbea.ms/git-commit/#why-not-how" rel="nofollow">https://cbea.ms/git-commit/#why-not-how</a> for a longer discussion.
