Not list. Clean. What's wrong with listing them?

i would claim .git to be off limits and unrelated to the working dir (file-wise).  if you want to list files there, do a find . or so.  After all you wouldn't expect cd /usr && git-ls-files -o work there unless you have a /.git or /usr/.git, right?

 Maybe other tools should do so as well.

% cd .hg && hg status -A .
abort: path contains illegal component: .hg

I think this is a sensible thing to do.

No, it isn't. It is not unlikely to have repo in repo
(and some people already have them).
Mercurial is wrong here.

what do you mean with repo-in-repo?  something like .git/.git?  My suggestion does not break this:

% mkdir foo && cd foo && git init
% cd .git && git init
% git ls-files -o
HEAD
config
description
hooks/applypatch-msg
hooks/commit-msg
hooks/post-commit
hooks/post-update
hooks/pre-applypatch
hooks/pre-commit
hooks/pre-rebase
hooks/update
info/exclude
% git ls-files -o ..
fatal: '..' is outside repository

Here the repo root is "foo/.git" and not "foo".

So my suggestion still stands:  .git is off limits.
