Could you provide a concrete example? I don't understand your point.

As in: "changed this property in the config _because_ it will extinguish all evil from planet earth" vs. "changed this property in the config".

I can see _what_ somebody did well enough from the code diff itself -- reading an uninterrupted stream of messages explaining _why_ in a git log is a wonderful experience.
