I'm researching how much git commit hygiene actually matters to people day-to-day — not building or selling anything yet, genuinely just trying to understand if this is a real problem or something devs shrug off.

A few questions, answer whichever apply:

• Has bad commit history (or a vague commit message) ever cost you time — slower code review, confusion during a bug hunt, someone duplicating work they didn't know was already done?
• Does your team enforce any commit conventions? Does anyone actually follow them?
• Have you ever built a workaround for this — a script, a git alias, a personal rule?

Happy to hear "this has literally never mattered to me" too — that's useful data.

If anyone's open to a quick 15-min call instead of typing it all out, I'd genuinely appreciate it — feel free to DM me.
