As someone who has had to dig deep with git blame, I tremendously value a good long multiline commit message. At the very least it can save the trouble of having to dig up some obscure mailing list discussion or bug report to figure out why a change was made, assuming that exists at all. If it doesn't, all you have is the git commits.
