IFUC this shouldn't affect any (correctly written) scripts,
and so the only downside is that (when run in a subdir) commands
that are currently spelled:
git xxx
would with this change need to be spelled:
git xxx .
One advantage of this approach is that one's fingers would
learn the "only this dir" two char sequence very quickly.
So FWIW, I will do my best to help defend such a decision.
