I think "should have been part of commit ..." would be more usual English.

The phrase probably arises because there's some cooking metaphor in the back
of my mind. In baking it would be quite common to say something like:
"Oh drat, the sugar should have gone in with the liquid ingredients."

I don't cook or bake actually, but I've observed other people make
that kind of mistake plenty of times.
