The thing is that writing a good commit message for future people doing `git blame` is only worth it if it's a line of code which someone in the future will look at and need to know why it was changed from its previous form to the current form.

If you simply want to comment the current state of the code, you should add a comment in the code.

No one will ever need to know in the future why that particular space character is an ascii space, so the whole commit message is just a blog entry in the wrong place.

It would have made sense to just put a comment at the top of the file saying "make sure encoding is whatever".
