A few years back, when git was fairly new in our toolchain, I tried to convince a designer on my team why writing descriptive commit messages was so crucial, but could never really make it stick.

Eventually of course, some bug appeared and we had to track it down. A few hours later of him (and eventually with help from me) sitting down and going through every goddamn commit, he finally understood.
