It's a standard to use the imperative mood in writing commit messages - the Linux kernel enforces this[0], as do a lot of other projects.
It makes more sense if you consider a commit to be an independent "thing" in a list, and you follow the list from start to finish to end up with the current repository state, each commit being a command.
