You cannot generate > the latter two lists without checking with your work tree. It seems like it shouldn't scan/show things outside of the path. If I've specified a path on the command line, I most likely only care about things in that path. I think it would make committing specific paths much faster when you have a large tree. However, it would eliminate information (changed/untracked files outside that path), if people are relying on that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
