Write these like cat >ls-files.expect <<-\EOF && 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0 one 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0 three 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0 two EOF which would give incentive to others (or yourself) to update the style of the existing mess ;-).
