The use case in mind is --max-depth=0 to stop recursion. With this we can do
git config --global alias.ls 'ls-files --column --color --max-depth=0'
and have "git ls" with an output very similar to GNU ls. Another
interesting one is
git config --global alias.lso 'ls-files --column --color --max-depth=0 -o --exclude-standard'
