It seems like everything that "git status" does can now be done from a subdirectory (giving, of course, the status of the contents of the subdirectory). I think the same might be true of "git commit", but I haven't checked on everything. Is there anything that has to be done to enable this properly other than removing the "|| die" part of the first line?
