All my commit messages are a mess and I spend the time that I have designing and writing code, not figuring out how to make the commit message look pretty. That's what merges are for. I don't see the value of this tbh. Just pedantic time wasting.

When these people say "commit" they're referring to the same concept you "merge".

		I have branches that I work in and fork out from in every direction before merging everything back into master. My branches are messy because they're works in progress so I don't care about the commit messages. For the final merge back into master its a high-level overview of changes. I don't try detail every change. I honestly think that devs obsess too much over this clean commit history thing and that it looks to me like pedantic OCD.
