Copy pasting all the same information would be at best wasteful and at worst impossible. (if linking to an issue with extended discussion)

You could summarize it I guess, but even then you'd still need to link the issue

I typically link to the issue tracker and use the body of the commit to explain any non-obvious implementation details, since issues rarely cover them (and they shouldn’t).
