Well, describing stuff in a commit message which is obvious is just 
redundant.

I can of course explain the whole background of the code in question in 
the commit message, but for obvious bug fixes like this it is just overkill.

Well for structural changes I certainly agree, but not for a bug fix 
which adds a missing check for a special case.
