Since one could ostensibly use ChatGPT to make the commits, this entire idea is moot. The paranoia we are seeing now will slowly fade. It doesn't make sense to adopt extreme measures, especially since the truthiness of any claim as to creative originality becomes more dubious with every day. Even if you hand-wrote and mailed a copy of your manuscripts one page at a time to the US Copyright Office, that would not suffice, since from the moment ChatGPT was made public, you could have been using it, then transfering your thoughts to paper. Just live your life.
