A late update on this subthread (I wrote the GP): I found your comment very insightful when I first read it. That the VCS applies a series of patches that are essentially standalone to the initial blank state is something that gets obscured when you use GitHub and similar tools. (And GitHub is a big influence — for me it's a major reason for using Git a lot more than, say, Mercurial or Fossil.) I have since given the matter more thought and have adopted the imperative mood subject line style for a new project I started.
As for "addressing the system", I have decided for now to not do it at all in my subject lines to avoid the confusion.
