This reminds me of when I was first starting out as being a developer. I had played with source control a little bit before joining a company where they heavily used one. I wrote pretty verbose messages in each commit when I joined until one of the senior developers stopped by and told me "yeah you don't really need to do that; since it requires something I just put a period in the box". Then I found out everyone on the team did this.

It started me on a bad habit doing this as well. The source history was almost useless.
