I've been asking myself that. The GCC convention[1] (using SVN or a
synchronized git, I don't know which is the master) is to note with each
commit the overall purpose and, for each changed file, a summary of the
changes. This seems sensible, and I've adopted it for my own projects;
it can seem like just regurgitating the source changes, but there's
almost always a _why_ to be added.
