With changelog in Emacs, with a few keystrokes (C-x 4 a) I easily create an entry for the function being changed, and explain what is being done and why.

What is the equivalent way in Git?

You can keep using C-x 4 a, and if you commit using vc-next-action, the ChangeLog entry will be copied over to the commit message. (I think this is recent behavior; you might need a reasonably recent Emacs. 24.5.1 WFM.)

Alternatively, if you use Magit, when commiting, you can use magit-commit-add-log (bound to C) to add ChangeLog-style entries directly into the commit message from the diff buffer that Magit displays next to the commit message buffer.
