Hello,

I'd like to find a way to list files and directories tracked by git
but which are only in the top directory of the tracked project.

For example, in a kernel repository:

  $ git-magic-command --magic-options
  .gitignore
  .mailmap
   COPYING
   CREDITS
   Kbuild
   MAINTAINERS
   Makefile
   README
   REPORTING-BUGS
   Documentation/
   arch/
   drivers/
   kernel/
   ...

I tried to come up with something using git-ls-files but fails.

Thanks for any suggestions.
