I think that would be a better approach if we were to do this.  I
still have the same reservation that "this is fundamentally not
worse but still hurts the users more".

This one really should *not* use match_pathspec(), I think.

It is a special case where we were asked to limit to our directory
but decided to grab everything instead and filtering the outcome
outselves.  We should have a "path to the starting directory" aka
"prefix" in implicit_dot and check if path is covered by the prefix
instead.
