If you are questioning the log message, then the issue is "What
are log messages for?".  The log message is supposed to give a
short but informative summary of what the change is.  These
log messages are informative, and it's hard to imagine how they
could be any shorter.  Sounds like a good log message to me.

I would not want a separate commit for each word that is changed
in a single file, but if there is only one word which needs to
be changed at a given point in time, then what else would you
expect in the log message for that commit?
