It does tell me a great deal about your development habits, yes.

Maybe not information that I care to do much more than skim, of course, unless I'm your manager looking for reasons why you might be working from home too much. :) (That said, there's probably some cool deep learning applications here...)

Some of the information, for instance, is that maybe you are working on pieces too large at a time and should find more ways to break them into smaller units of work that you can more easily commit in logical piece at a time rather than "snapshot dumps" between computers.

Like I said, from a hyberbolic standpoint, how the sausage is made isn't pretty and is full of garbage sometimes, but it is informative.

I'm a manager, and I'd be happy to see commit messages about working from home. My team would never write commit messages like this, they are of negative value to the team. I would ask them to squash. If I saw these commit messages pushed, the employee would get a warning.
