git-ls-tree has the '-l' option mimicking (somewhat) "ls -l" behaviour only because it was thought to be useful for gitweb (to have file sizes in 'tree' view, like cgit has it), although gitweb doesn't use it yet.
I think it would be easy to add '-l' also to git-ls-files. Please remember to provide size only for blobs, as provoding size for trees would make it harder to change to future packv4, where tree objects would be stored deconstructed.
