Sometimes, in some kinds of projects, the commit messages looks like this:

  JIRA: #1234

  Adjusted the FOOBAR parameter from 42 to 73.

To know the "why", you have to read the ticket; you will not find anything in the git log.

Oh jeez, please do not make me run “git log” and then open a hundred tabs in an old bug tracker that may or may not still exist to figure out when a problem may have been introduced. I want code reviewers to insist on at least somewhat useful messages for us to skim at 3 AM.
