This would imply that the other way to get faster commits is to specify
your filenames explicitly, instead of using the default of "any changed
item under the current directory".

If this rather dramatic speed difference between 'status' and 'commit'
is really a common case, it's probably worth reimplementing 'commit' in
terms of the same thing 'status' does. But I'm not deep enough in the
wcng code to know if that's a reasonable course.
