I *do* have emacs macros which help with this. What I try and do is explain the change in the ChangeLog (I have scripts which automate this as well) and then just a high-level synopsis of the change(s) when I commit (again scripted). Of course, the way it's done is always pretty subjective - kinda like what editor or MUA you swear by :-)
