Likely my own personal bias, but I have never once found git log/commit messages to be useful when debugging or understanding what happened. I'm sure that others do so I try to write useful commits (conventional commits syntax is helpful here) but I'd much rather spend my time and effort understanding the current state of the codebase instead of trying to diagnose how "fixed bug related to file naming" relates to a website going down.
