  Could we add a:  git locate <filename>       or git find <filename>
How about "git ls-files \*<filename>"?
Or "git ls-files '*filename'...

... but how to make an (git) alias for this?
Add something like this to your $HOME/.gitconfig:

[alias]
        locate = !sh -c 'git ls-files "\\*$1"' -
I think having this alias by default would be very nice though - it's
pretty common to locate/find files, and it's nice to have unixy
equivalents in git.

If this really isn't wanted, then perhaps the ls-files command should
be bash auto-completed?

Thanks!
