> As someone who has contributed to Git since before GitHub existed and who maintains legacy code, I simply cannot disagree more. I use `git blame`, `git log`, and `git show` in the terminal all the time. It's trivial to follow the history of a file. It takes me seconds to use `git log -G` to find when something was added or removed. I 100% agree with this. I do this all the time. I also agree with the rest of the post. The sentiment raging against these longer git commit messages smells very much like elitism to me.
