Re: ls-files -t broken? Or do I just not understand it?

So I wounld't be surprised if there were bugs lurking around "-t" family.
Patches to fix them are welcome; people's scripts depend on them.

In the particular case of -t, as far as my grep can tell, it's
untested, not used in Git itself, and rather unlikely to be used
elsewhere given it's strange behavior.

I'd say the best thing to to is to keep it, but mark it as deprecated
in the doc, and point to 'diff --name-status' and 'status' as superior
alternatives in the doc.
