In practice, I think GitHub/GitLab/etc solve this UX problem pretty well. Inline git tools let you jump immediately to the PR that generated the code change, and the PR description + code reviews + snapshot of the commit help to understand what the point of the change was. You can search the PRs when you want to find some context. (It's unfortunate that PRs are not stored in the repository itself. I mean, Git is not a great database for a multi-user webpage, so this wouldn't quite work... but it would be nice if the archive was durable and easy to export/share.)
