I'm very much a git newbie. I learned it a few months ago from Udacity and I believe the only directive given regarding commit messages was to use verbs! However, I regularly use the past tense when I write commit messages. This is because I look at my log when I try to think of what I did, so things like added, removed and fixed etc. But a lot of people have raised good points about using the present tense. I may make the switch in my next repo.
