Probably anything saying "Commit" as the main verb (apart from "Initial commit"). "Add some code" is annoying but "Commit some code" is so much worse to me. Yeah, of course, every commit is committing some code lol.

Honestly this is the area I feel separates junior from senior devs in quite significant ways.... on both extremes.

I hate having to go through a bunch of "fix, fix, typo, syntax, fix, thing, foo" comments when trying to review the history of a file....

Similarly commits that describe which files are being touched and in what way are just as bad.

Gimme the why for that commits existence please... not just what I can already tell by looking at the file stats.
