The use case in mind is --max-depth=0 to stop recursion. With this we can do

git config --global alias.ls 'ls-files --column --color --max-depth=0'

and have "git ls" with an output very similar to GNU ls.

One big difference though: your "git ls" does not show directories. I understand that this is easier to implement, but from the user point of view it resulted in a "wtf" from me running "git ls" in a repository containing essentially directories, and seeing just a README file in the output.

I was hoping you didn't notice :) It'll be more difficult but not impossible.

Ideally (for me), directories should be shown with a trailing / like "ls -F" does.

I'd rather go with no trailing slash by default and add -F (which
seems to be more than just '/')
