On FreeBSD, when executed by root ls enables the '-A' option:

  -A  Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (`.')
      except for . and ...  Automatically set for the super-user unless
      -I is specified.

As a result the .git directory appeared in the output when run as root.
Simulate no-dotfile ls behaviour using a shell glob.

This patch looks good to me and seems to match where the
discussion landed. Thanks for finding and fixing this!

Thanks, all.  Will queue.
