The --format option on the git-ls-files man page states that `%xx` interpolates to the character with hex code `xx`. This mirrors the documentation and behavior of `git for-each-ref --format=...`. However, in reality it requires the character with code `XX` to be specified as `%xXX`, mirroring the behaviour of `git log --format`.
