There isn't so much a CLI option, more, there's a parameter that "git
commit" takes which allows you to enumerate which paths to commit.

So:

  git commit

Commits everything staged.

  git commit .

Commits only CWD

But, with one important caveat:

  git commit

Will only commit changes previously added with "git add" or whatever to
the index.

  git commit .

Will commit *any* changes to anything in "." as long as they're
"tracked" by git.

But this is what repoman does anyway ;)

The doc line for this in "git help commit" is:

   3. by listing files as arguments to the commit command (without
   --interactive or --patch switch), in which case the commit will
   ignore changes staged in the index, and instead record the current
   content of the listed files (which must already be known to Git);
