I can do that but I want to push for a general solution instead
of ls-only. How about config key defaults.<cmd>, containing a list of
arguments, that will be prepended to git-<cmd>? Only some commands are
marked to support this by adding USE_DEFAULTS in the array commands[]
in git.c. And "git --no-defaults <cmd>" will ignore defaults.<cmd> (or
"git -c defaults.<cmd>= <cmd>" but it's less obvious). GIT_NO_DEFAULTS
can also be set, which has the same effect for all commands.
