That irritates me. I know some projects where everything is put in the MR and the commit messages are of the form "modified file X". If you do a "git pull" you get a repository with code but no explanation of what's happening. You need to visit gitlab for that. The fact that merges are done using fast-forward is probably partially to blame.
I'd much prefer people wrote useful commit messages, and then the MRs copy from that. Then at least the repo by itself contains useful info.
