Generally speaking though, I rarely care about reading multiple commit messages at a time. Outside of a PR (where to be honest, I'm far more interested in the PR description than the individual commit messages provided they're not something horrible like "changes"), I generally only look at commits in the context of a blame, which means I really need to understand one commit in isolation.

Good commit messages are super important in this case, of course, but the capitalization, verb tenses, and where line breaks occur have little to no real benefit, particularly if they're focused on over actually having a good commit message.
