A commit made for you by a workspace session now stages only that item's own files. If the directory you configure for a pack's output contains *, ?, [, { or }, it cannot describe a commit scope — a * in particular made the commit reach every uncommitted file under the directory above it. Such a value is now refused with an error naming the section to correct, and the rest of the session's git tools keep working. Rename the directory to one without those characters to commit again.
