I thought that you already did that within the scope of your earlier
topic.

"ls-tree" is quite a low-level plumbing, and until we absolutely know that
all the old scripts people wrote relying on its original behaviour are
extinct, we shouldn't touch it without a reasonable breakage protection.

It is Ok to give it a command line option to make it in line with other
pathspec users, namely, that causes the command to missing pathspec should
automatically mean the whole tree and to honor globs.  No existing script
would be using that option, so that is a safe thing to do.
