The reason we need to list all of the true files (except submodules) is
for code refactoring using the sed unility, for example:
git ls-files | grep -Ev '(png$|ico$)' | xargs sed -i 's/\r\n/\n/'
All of the other alternatives we could think of are very ugly.

In all honesty, though this seems like a niche request for ls-files to

I would be somewhat sad for two reasons.
In my opinion, this should be a feature for "ls-files" only, since it
would be nice to have a clean stream of true files.
Thank you for your replies,
