I am reading the source code of git ls-files and learned that git ls -files may have duplicate entries when conflict occurs in a branch merge or when different options are used at the same time. Users may fell confuse when they see these duplicate entries. As Junio C Hamano said ,it have odd behaviour. Therefore, we can provide an additional option to git ls-files to delete those repeated information. This fixes https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/198 Thanks!
