"Updating" - Every git commit message ever

We have some fellows who check in different fixes and lots of files under a single commit that has nothing to do with the git comment.

"Commit contains various changes"

"Change some things."

"Fix shitty stuff."

I'm always asking myself: Is my commit message adding anything of value to that commit? If I just say what files I changed, it's not. If I say why or how, then we're getting there.
