That's your opinion, but the convention we still use here (and don't
just recommend but *request* people to follow) is the GNU ChangeLog format.

Don't know yet about Git, but I can assure you that in Bzr-land, commits
are not cheap (things like "bzr merge", "bzr annotate" and many others
have time complexities that depend on the number of commits).

Fine-grained or not is irrelevant.  What they should be is logical/coherent.
Your recent 20 or so single-line commits which all have the same summary
line is the perfect example of what should *not* be done.
