You shouldn't have to change any of your habits! The message that shows what the commit's about might vary a bit more than it used to, since I think it pulls from the commit message supplied by the patch's author rather than being added at the time of commit separately, but I've been meaning to post about meaningful commit messages anyway to encourage people. :)
About the only thing that you'll have to do is get used to ignoring a bit more of the message -- Git adds the SHA (the long value after "Commit:" like 6595328b715790acb57b18f0fd7b25813f4540ae in the latest commit) to each commit so that it can identify that checkpoint in the future (it's more complex than that, but that's as a good non-tech explanation as any), which might be what's giving you the 'cryptic' impression.
(And of course we'll still be doing the code tours.)
