About what my coworkers do but even worse with stuff like "save" and "fix"

What The Commit provides a list of all-purpose messages to randomly select between. Would these be better?

When there's a limit to the size of a commit message it does make it difficult to actually list all the changes, so sometimes this is all you can write.

I know in theory you're meant to commit little and often, but in practice it doesn't always work out that way.
