Hi,

for being user-friendly and consistent. Git porcelain commands seem to
be grouped by function. So it would be natural to have git-ls as a
front-end for both ls-files and ls-tree. I don't really care about
ls-tree but I do about ls-files to examine index.

I didn't. From the patch, it seems git-show can show the index via
::file syntax. If so, I'd like withdraw my opinion. '::file' syntax is
not intuitive though. Perhaps you should mention that it can show
index (and how) in the git-show document
