One big difference though: your "git ls" does not show directories. I understand that this is easier to implement, but from the user point of view it resulted in a "wtf" from me running "git ls" in a repository containing essentially directories, and seeing just a README file in the output. Ideally (for me), directories should be shown with a trailing / like "ls -F" does. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
