I really hate that commit message. It is extremely verbose and doesn't allow you to easily understand what was done in the commit in a single sentence or paragraph. It mixes a very narrative explanation in there that is hard to skim. It is in desperate need of a clear TLDR version.

If you really like the descriptive, verbose message, then the most important description should be at the top and it should gradually go into less interesting details as you read down, like in a news article.
