I think we do have --no-index (which is why I am largely ignoring
the rest of your message as uninformed speculation for now).

See

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/288316/focus=288321

I agree it is bad that it silently ignores the path outside the
directory.  When run with --verbose, we should say "Skipped X that
is outside the directory." or something like that, just like we
issue notices when we applied with offset, etc.
