Recent git versions do not accept the noted command.
$ git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
fatal: ls-files -i must be used with either -o or -c
The -c was implied before, but we need to make it explicit since
git commit b338e9f66873 ("ls-files: error out on -i unless -o or -c
are specified").
Also, replace --exclude-standard with --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore
so that everyone will get consistent results.
git-ls-files(1) says:
--exclude-standard
Add the standard Git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore in
each directory, and the user's global exclusion file.
We cannot predict what is locally added to .git/info/exclude or the
user's global exclusion file.
We can only manage .gitignore files committed to the repository.
