Yep. Been discussed. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3580013/should-i-use-past...
The tl;dr - use present tense if working on large distributed (open-source) project where the commit may or may not be used. Use past tense if the change isn't really optional (people basically can only merge/rebase)... which applies to most projects.
