First line in the description of the 'git-commit (1)' man-page:
Stores the current contents of the index in a new commit along with a log message from the user describing the changes.
Since most people are searching the man-pages for a certain task (in this case, the task is to record the changes), the title makes sense. As a user, you are kindly requested to read at least the description part of the man-page.
