"Closest surrounding pair (tree-sitter)" not working anymore in git context about helix HOT 3 OPEN

I'm not sure if this is a bug. tree-sitter for git does not define a node for pairs (like markdown tree-sitter). Type :tree-sitter-subtree. All tree-sitter motions don't work for pairs either (I mean mm, A-o, etc). Use ma(.

thank you for the tip. I just disabled the the highlighting by editing languages.toml

[[language]]
name = "git-commit"
file-types = []

now I have the same behavior as the released version. (it looks not as nice as the highlighted version, but more functional)

should I close this issue. since it is not a bug in helix itself, but in the tree sitter definition of git?
