Something that's standard at the company I work for is commit messages always having the ticket number at the start, and it helps figure out why something was changed so much more than a commit message.

Ex of a recent change I saw, but anonymized a bit.

PROJ-12345: Added preview flag to video player

PROJ-12345 in Jira:

When a preview of a video is playing in the persistent player, preroll ads will display on app launch.

A more standardized format is:

  Bug: #12345

if you want to merely reference a specific bug/issue, or

  Closes: #12345

if this commit fixes the bug/closes the issue.

See https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/CommitMessageConventio...

But the PROJ-12345 at the beginning of the first line of the commit is very common in many entreprise projects.
