What you are describing basically matches my experience. Whether I’m doing a blame or a code review, if I’m reading commit messages, I’m doing it to understand why some thing is the way it is. Reciting what changed in 70 characters instead of saying why it changed doesn’t feel like it helps me much.
For the case of trying to find a change, I’d personally just run `git log -G` or `git log <file glob>` depending on what I’m looking for. I suppose one must know that these commands exist, though, so maybe that’s part of it.
