Personally, more than "git ls-files -l", I've occasionally wanted a real 
"git ls" that really looks more like "ls". That includes:

 - turning a list of files in a subdirectory into a "directory" entry 
   (which is not very natural for "git ls-files" as an index operation, 
   since the index is fundamentally flat).

 - yes, adding "-l" as an option, but really showing the stat information. 
   Right now, you can do "git ls-files --stage", and it will show a kind 
   of extended information, but while it shows the mode, it doesn't show 
   the owner/timestamp/etc parts of the index, and those are sometimes 
   interesting.

Btw, the "ls-tree -l" format is not nice. Don't use it as a basis 
to pattern "ls -l" (or if you want to just extend ls-tree, whatever).
