We also tend to take the approach of viewing the history as that of 
the whole project.

But if you type 'git log' while cd'd into a subdirectory the whole log 
is almost never what you want. It's this kind of thing that makes git 
harder to use.

When I am working in a subdirectory, I often want the whole history.  For 
example, when I am working on the documentation, sometimes I need to look 
up a commit real quick, that touched other parts.

Besides, adding a space and a dot is not what qualifies for "harder to 
use" with this developer.
