Just to check with the argument that any commit should bring the Git
tree to another "good state". Why this was flagged? What would be the
collateral damage if only this commit was picked and put to a pull
request? No intentions to do that, this more like forming a better
understanding what is at stake here.

I.e. I get that you need this for subsequent commits but I think the
commit message should also have like explanation why this is a legit
change otherwise.

I mean, less flagging better if it does not cause harm is already
great without higher level goals.
