For me, an ideal git commit message is one that also links to a bug or feature ticket. Both {Github+Github Issues} and {BitBucket + Jira} support this almost seamlessly, I imagine other systems do as well.

I agree here. OP's article mentions Chris Beam's page [1] and I have all our developers follow that structure which helps but ultimately the biggest strength is the final line with the link to our JIRA.
