Hmm, by the 60th time I’ve taught them how to make a commit in git I’d probably be pretty done.

I agree with the general sentiment though.

I would think in that case the solution should have been to talk with the manager about the junior engineer's performance (presumably well before the 60th time) rather than to take it out directly on the junior engineer.

And you're assuming they haven't done so why? Both actions are not mutually exclusive.
