I'll disagree. Like code comments vs code, actual descriptive text can cover much more than just commit messages.

I keep a daily work journal, and I write down:

- What I was working on

- Who I talked to, and about what

- Problems I ran into

- How I solved those problems

- Useful techniques and snippets I came up with

- Where I left off today, and where I need to pick up tomorrow
