Subject: 'git commit .' in a subdirectory also commits staged files in other subdirectories
Message-ID: <3a4dfad5-0f2e-14d8-61f2-779616de1ae0@tsoft.com>

I had several staged files in various subdirectories of the cloned 
repository tree.

'git commit .' in one of them attempted to commit all of them, not only 
the files in that subdirectory.

This is a very unreasonable behavior, because while being in any 
subdirectory 'git commit .' should only affect that subdirectory, and 
not files elsewhere.
