git list files

Hi,

I was searching for some git- command to provide me a list of files (in a git directory), same as ls, but showing information from the last commit of the file instead.

lets, say the equivalent of the $ls -d b* within git.git root directory would look like:

(pretty the same idea as what we see in github when reviewing a repository under the "Files" tab.)

Unfortunately I couldn't find any suitable.

As suggested at http://git-scm.com/community I asked my question at the "Git user mailing list on Google Groups which is a nice place for beginners to ask about anything", and one of the valuable answers was:

"Also I wouldn't hesitate to ask this question on the main Git list as this question appears to be hard-core enough to warrant assisting of someone knowledgeable about Git internals."

So here I am...

So is there such a command, or I have to build my own script, starting from, lets say git-rev-list in addition with some diff?

At the beginning I was hoping that $git rev-list HEAD --no-walk --all-match -- <paths> + some git status --porcelain could do the job for me, but seems git rev-list, same as git log stops at the first found matching commit, without to take care that there are still more files unsatisfied in the list...

isn't it supposed to satisfy all the files in the list when --all-match -- <paths> are given?

Thank you in advance, Blind.
