More thorough commit messages are a big help
in generating correct and complete release notes.
Feel free to include developer motivation or
user oriented information if appropriate.  It
helps others follow your contribution and makes
it easier to build on.

From the "Git Community Book", with some numbers added
by me:

"A note on commit messages: Though not required,
it's a good idea to

[1] begin the commit message with a single short
      (less than 50 character) line summarizing the change,

[2] followed by a blank line

[3] and then a more thorough description.

Tools that turn commits into email, for example, use the first line
on the Subject: line and the rest of the commit message in the
body."
