It's not tricky: it is POSIX:

What do you mean by "squelching"?

Note that I originally wrote the code as

__git_ls_files_helper ()
{
	# NOTE: $2 is not quoted in order to support multiple options
	 { cd "$1" && git ls-files --exclude-standard $2 } 2>/dev/null
}

but then I checked the POSIX standard, noting that it is redundant.

There is a missing EOF delimiter.
And I'm not sure to understand the meaning of && after EOF.

I have added tcsh to the sh list, but it fails with:
Badly placed ()'s.

Ok, I was wrong on assuming all modern shells were POSIX compliant.
I will change the code to use a nested {} group.

I don't know.

$ mkdir y
$ git mv x -n y
Checking rename of 'x' to 'y/x'
Renaming x to y/x
$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean

I was assuming it to be "normal", given how complex Git command line
parsing is (IMHO).
