Re: [PATCH 6/8] ls-tree: work from subdirectory.

Dear diary, on Sun, Nov 27, 2005 at 07:01:37PM CET, I got a letter
where Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] said that...

If you use "-r", it acts the way you'd expect. If you _don't_ use "-r", it 
acts strangely, but very consistently with git-diff-tree: it only ever 
shows the _first_ part of a pathname. So

	git-ls-tree HEAD drivers/char/

should show just one entry: "drivers". While adding a "-r" should show all 
files under drivers (and the trees leading up to it).

And yes, you're right. That's a much bigger change by my suggested diff, 
and more likely to cause confusion.

Ugh. That's really weird. Wouldn't a better approach be to fix
git-ls-files to behave more sanely? (That is, listing the entry for
drivers/char instead of drivers?)
