I assume you mean "ls-files".  I have every once in a while been annoyed
by that, but given how infrequently I run ls-files, it is not a big
deal. :)

I did mean ls-tree, but I misspelled the name of the escape hatch.

Oh, I never noticed that behavior before. For "ls-files", I think it is
at least a little sane, but it makes no sense whatsoever for ls-tree.

At this moment (as my brain is not quite functioning), I can only say we
agreed to disagree what feels more natural here.

I agree that we agreed to disagree. But there is still one open
question: would you take a patch for a "full-tree" config variable that
would impact add (and probably grep) for 1.7.0? You can sleep on it if
you want. ;)
