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.
