Change of datasetReference after sync with git (dev ops)

Hello! 

I wonder if there's a way to prevent Power BI default behavior after sync with azure dev ops
(without adding the report definition.pbir to gitignore):

The problem is: 
When you create a report connected to Power BI dataset (from service) and add some formulas there, 
after pushing it to azure dev ops and sync with the space you are working on Power BI automatically adding new commit 
that Changes the datasetReference from byConnection to byPath (please refer to the screenshot attached).

Eventually when you try to edit the report itself (after mentioned above automatic commit of Power BI from service),
formulas that were added previously become inactive (cannot be edited).
