I also find writing commit messages in present tense unnatural.
Possible Explanation for present tense commit messages - Commit messages are treated as Instruction(s) to a third person, as if she is applying the patches one-by-one.
"Implement Feature A"
Now, "Fix the bug in the previously developed Feature A" etc.
