This is a failure of GitHub etc. GitHub tries to dumb things down for users because I guess it's judged they can't reason with commit histories and this is one of the consequences. The mess in especially private GitHub repos is beyond belief sometimes.
The thing is there's nowhere else for such documentation to go. It's not appropriate for a code comment. But we've got a whole generation of developers now who think git is GitHub and the only purpose of git is uploading changes to GitHub.
Git sucks, but it sucks a lot less than everything else. But we need to go back to basics and understand what version control is actually for.
