LLMs looove to commit things. Every little thing. It is handy for them as they can use commits as their own memory store that they can scan easily, but it leads to very wordy-but-minor commits.
Things that humans would just lump together in a single commit like "updated docs" gets broken into commits for every single change made over the course of a few hour session.
I might be weird but I like having lots of small, concise commits.
Same, it's really nice to look back and do a git revert if I have to. My commit messages are not as wordy, though.
