I can add that, it's just superfluous. It doesn't really tell the reader
anything if they need to know what is going on. Unless the message is
supposed to copy the definition of the properties themselves, which is
rather pointless.

It's like documenting a function:

bool is_object_mutable();
Returns true if object is mutable;

There's really no point.

We don't always have the message+code. In the end we have only commit
msgs like the raw changelog here :
