I ran into the same issue while specifying commit for a plugin whose latest commit version has been installed. Then running :PackerSync still installed the latest commit. To solve this on my end, I removed this plugin and then ran :PackerSync with a certain commit specified, and it worked.

For me, the method described by @garyzhang2002 does not work.
