Re: [PATCH 0/8] Add 'ls-files --json' to dump the index in json

This is probably just my itch. Every time I have to do something with
the index, I need to add a little bit code here, a little bit there to
get a better "view" of the index.

JSON is not particularly my cup-of-tea but it is better than many
other things exactly for one reason (everybody and their dog have
heard of it), and certainly is much superiour than inventing our own
ad-hoc format.  

Thanks for working on this (I do not expect I would see an immediate
need for this myself, though).
