I agree, and it seems like a pretty basic bug. Can you file an issue
about it, linking to this thread (and the one you mention above)?

naming commit targets explicitly. That's cumbersome, but it can be
done until this situation is fixed.
By the way, I also looked in the issue tracker for an issue about this,
