i thought about that too, except that in a monorepo situation, I don't want the don't want the changed pom to get pushed back in a commit, and I don't want one of the those changelists in my IDE labeled "do not commit" to facilitate that.
Rationale: Just because I've subset my checkout/clone doesn't mean that all users of the same repo want to. It was implied, but I'll call it out: .full-module-list.txt is in .gitignore (etc), and that it's easily regenerate per the 'find' command.
