title: Git status - is there a way to show changes only in a specific directory?
body: <p>I would like to see a list of files modified since the last commit, as <code>git status</code> shows, but I care only about files located in a single directory. Is there a way to do this? I tried <code>git status &lt;directory&gt;</code>, but it seems this does something completely different (lists all changed files, as they would be if I wrote <code>git add &lt;directory&gt;</code> first). </p>
  
  <p>The documentation for git-status doesn't tell much, apart from the fact that it accepts the same options that git-commit does (but git-commit's purpose isn't to show lists of changed files).</p>
