If I leave out > --with-tree=HEAD, I do not get information about staged changes. I think a machine parsable "status equivalent" is a good thing to have, but I do not think the internal machinery of ls-files is equipped to do that. Didn't I send "here is how you would do it" patch some time ago, so that interested parties can build on it to do that? I lack the context to interpret what you mean by "The script", but in any case, the only use case --with-tree was designed for was to use it in conjunction with --error-unmatch inside the scripted version of "git commit", to see if the paths given by the users make sense as a request to create a partial commit. It is not entirely surprising if any other funny options do not work with it at all. Having said all that, I think this would fix it. builtin-ls-files.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git c/builtin-ls-files.c i/builtin-ls-files.c index b48327d..b28a185 100644 --- c/builtin-ls-files.c +++ i/builtin-ls-files.c @@ -227,6 +227,8 @@ static void show_files(struct dir_struct *dir, const char *prefix) int dtype = ce_to_dtype(ce); if (excluded(dir, ce->name, &dtype) != dir->show_ignored) continue; + if (ce->ce_flags & CE_UPDATE) + continue; err = lstat(ce->name, &st); if (show_deleted && err) show_ce_entry(tag_removed, ce); -- 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
