What's the point of `--quick' option?  If you've made changes that speed up
commits of file subsets, why doesn't it simply use them whenever the user
specifies such?

Also, do these changes work for command-line specified files instead of
--file-list (e.g, `tla commit -- file1.c file2.c')?  I suspect that's
actually used much more often than --file-list.
