I am not sure about that; ls-tree is meant to be used by scripts
that are capable of doing that kind of thing themselves.

If we were to add an option to add a slash, I think it should be
modeled after "ls -F", whose output is meant for humans and no sane
scripts would read from it.  It is very likely that such an option
should add @ at the end of the name for a symbolic link, so it won't
be useful for your patch.
