Great! If you send me the link and/or the text, I can link to it or
put it into the docs.

As Maarten pointed out, if I supported that, it would use the same
commit message for all repos. That's almost certainly not what the
user wants.

I _could_ try to warn in non-obvious cases, but I fear that this is a
rabbit hole of chasing down corner cases.

Useless, how? `git commit` would act the same. You need to `git add`
files or to use -a.

Correct; this time you are executing in the context of "toto", not in
the global context.

You either need to `vcsh add .totorc` or `vcsh toto commit -a -m "second commit"
