Past tense doesn't describe what the commit does, it describes what the developer did.

  This. The point of an imperative present tense voice is to consider the message from the point of the commit, not from the point of the committer. Commit messages aren't meant to show you did work, they aren't meant to show what work you did either. They are meant to show what changed.

    You mean "what changes." Consistency dammit!
