Re: Why git-ls-tree has no --stdin option?

Why git-ls-tree has no --stdin option to give <tree-ish> (feed it from
git-ref-list for example), like git-diff-tree has? The output format could
be similar: treeish, then git-ls-tree output, treeish, tree,...

The only reason is nobody felt need for it so far, hence nobody
bothered.  If you find it useful, go wild.

Also, is there a combination of options which would display only exact
matches to path limit, i.e. tree entry only if path is directory, and file
(blob) entry only if path is ordinary file?

I probably am misunderstanding the question but an empty set is
the combination you want perhaps?

$ git ls-tree HEAD -- t Document sha1 sha1_name.c
100644 blob e9eb6ce882ea92523c9a871c7581457af2dc78c5	sha1_name.c
040000 tree 3fb2bfdfef59e4ed10f525ef10ad8b43b8bc459e	t

Yes, thank you very much.
