Potential Issue with ls-tree documentation

Within the ls-tree documentation for Git found here: 
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-ls-tree <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-ls-tree>

It mentions the following:

the behaviour is slightly different from that of "/bin/ls" in that the 
<path> denotes just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying 
directory name (without |-r|) will behave differently, and order of the 
arguments does not matter.

I'm wondering if this statement is accurate.  Here is my reasoning:

When using this form of the command:

git ls-tree <tree-ish> [<path>]

the <tree-ish> (assuming this is typically a branch name) must be 
specified prior to the path, making the order of the arguments matter 
when issuing the command.

If my reasoning is correct I would be glad to submit the changes for 
review/merge.

Appreciate any insights.
