When you mix different file types, with ls-files you may get separate listing. For example, "ls-files -cm" will show file "abc" twice: one as part of cached list, one of modified list. With "ls" (and this patch) they will be in a single sorted list (easier for the eye).

Duplicate entries are also removed. Note that display content is compared, so if you have "-t" on, or you color file types differently, you will get duplicate textual entries. This is good imo.
