I can't say they are good, because my commit messages get technical, and because I'm not very good at git, but here is my process. My project is in early stages and I am primary developer. I only have several instances I am supporting. I upgrade by doing a git checkout and ./rebuild.pl. Whenever the value of current git pointer changes, it automatically generates a changelog of all the commit messages between the previous pointer and current. As long as I write clear commit messages, my changelogs automatically contain useful information. I can also add comments in reply to the changelogs. All of it is automatically accessible via #meta hashtag
