I have install the latest git version from the PPA:
$ git --version
git version 2.20.1
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04

Running `https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash#L2898` does not give ls-files

$ git --list-cmds=list-mainporcelain,others,nohelpers,alias,list-complete,config
| grep ls
$

This is expected. ls-files is a plumbing command and will not complete by default. You can however add it back by adjusting config variable completion.commands. See "git help config" for details.

Re: ls -files missing from git-completion-list

Thank you for the resolution.

I didn't know it was a plumbing command, hence `--list-cmds=list-mainporcelain,others,nohelpers,alias,list-complete,config` didn't inspire me further

Apologies for the non-important topic.
