They're not intended to be general purposes documentation, but _brief_ descriptions of changes made in the context of the current commit. A commit message field is not intended to hold a whole changelog for a release nor a combined list of all changes from commits imported en masse from another SCM (for such uses, just keep the change list as a separate file and check it in along with the commit). IMO the whole thing is far more trouble than it's worth and introduces many corner cases and bugs where we currently don't have any (or only have very old, well-understood ones which we can blame on the other systems which were emulated ;).
