The reason we need to list all of the true files (except submodules) is 
for code refactoring using the sed unility, for example:

git ls-files | grep -Ev '(png$|ico$)' | xargs sed -i 's/\r\n/\n/'

All of the other alternatives we could think of are very ugly.

In my opinion, this should be a feature for "ls-files" only, since it 
would be nice to have a clean stream of true files.

Thank you for your replies,
