If I'm searching commits, I'm trying to find record of what changed and when. I only want clues, and quick skimming is paramount. I want no personality. I want concise descriptive commit messages. That said, we reference an ID from our project management software with every commit, so once I find the commit I'm looking for, I can reference it back to external documentation. I still discourage personality there as well because it can get out of hand and clutter the comments, but it's more forgivable than being on the commit itself.
