Subject: [PATCH] git-commit: pass explicit path to git-diff-files.
Message-ID: <7vu0hp2kjv.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vu0hp2kjv.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net

```
When running "git commit" with explicit path arguments, allow it to
take directory name.  This makes "git commit Documentation/" to commit
everything that is changed under Documentation/ directory.
