Fwiw I generally solve this by using `jj commit` instead of `jj desc` unless I'm specifically targeting something that isn't my working copy. Technically it violates the "we want commands to be orthogonal" guideline we use to write Jujutsu (otherwise this would indeed be `jj desc; jj new`) but as a habit it's never let me down
Ah, thanks! That's a command I haven't learned yet, so I'll have to check it out. I learned jj from the tutorial that was posted and I don't think it covered `jj commit` at all.
