Hi,

I was lacking a "manifest" like command, one which operates like
git-ls-files just you can use it with arbitrary tree-ish (or, put it
otherwise, one which opererates like git-ls-tree just acts recursively).
Maybe it's there already and I just didn't find my way through git
glossary?

Anyway, I rolled my own. Chanches are you find it an useful addition.

If you use this from a script note that ls-tree shows the subdirectory
of a tree that corresponds to the current directory in the repository.
This one should always show the full tree:
    $ git ls-tree --full-name -r HEAD $(git rev-parse --show-cdup)

```
