However, Dave's suggestion of altering git-status output to be
relative to (but not limited by) CWD has merit.  Too bad I don't have
time to work on it right now.

I am happy to hack on this if there's not widespread revolt against the concept.

I'd definitely like that feature, but I wonder how many people will run
"git commit -a" in a subdir after seeing only what they want to see in the
output, and then accidentally committing junk somewhere else in the repo.

So perhaps git-commit -a should also be path-delimited, but where would we
end up then? It might be better to just let git-status accept a path
delimiter and let the path delimiter default to current work-dir.

I agree that 'git status' should show the *whole* tree and if it will work
in subdirectories with 'git status .' or 'git status Documentation', it
would be a nice UI improvement.

But please don't make it always show only the current subdir.
