It might not necessarily always be a waste of time. Especially if you have multiple branches tracking a "maintenance" branch, you often end up having the same commit message repeated several times in "unrelated" commits (they're really the same commit, applied to another branch). Also, I could imagine that some automated system generates very verbose (and possibly very regular) commit messages, so under certain circumstances it may well make sense to see if the commits migth delta against each other. But I'll agree that in normal use it's not likely to be a huge saving, though. It's probably not worth doing for the fast importer unless it just happens to fall out of the code very easily.
