A nit: I was running the lint a while ago, and for the life of me
*could not* figure out how to get it to lint only my test file.  Docs
and diving into sources didn't prove illuminating; I don't recall what
options I tried, but none of them worked. So right now, running the
linter means waiting for >1 minute while it lints *the entire
repository* for you.

Can this be fixed, hopefully by making it default to linting the
current working directory only?  If that's too much of a change, at
least a working and clearly documented option to limit it to a
particular directory would be helpful.
