Just do one thing at a time? Today, I am working on X; my commits are for X, and details are in the commit message.

That breaks as soon as you have to interrupt working on Nice To Have Feature X to working on Inportant Bugfix/CVE Y.

How often does that happen to an individual developer though?

Once a month? In an averagely well run company even that may be towards the higher end.

Should your entire development strategy be based on a once a month occurrence?
