Hi,

I'm using my home directory as worktree checkout (for dotfile 
management). This leads to a super slow "got status" because it
walks through my whole home directory to show unversioned files.

I fixed this by creating a .gitignore file with "**" and I add files 
with got add -I. This works great and "got status" is fast again.

Then I noticed that "got commit" is still very slow and walking through
all files.

I don't think this is necessary, because the commit is only interested 
in files that have been added to the worktree already. And it checks the
tree first before it looks through the file system.

With his patch, got commit behaves like got status and won't look at 
files that are ignored.

Actually, I don't really see a point why it should ever look at files
not added to the worktree before. So we can probably be more drastic
here and disable the file system traversal for commit completely?

Well, this patch makes got nicer for me. And there's a small regress
test that works with and without the change to show that there's no
difference in behavior.

Best Regards,
Stefan
