I'm picking this as one example of various I've seen (from various
committers, not meaning to single you out, Mathieu):

When going through a commit history at a later point to look for
something specific, understand the evolution of code, or to simply
better understand a commit, good commit messages are paramount.

The above, and unfortunately many others, do not really help much.

(What is "this case"?  Why is it bad practice? ...)
