The established behaviour of "git ls-tree $tree_ish" run from a subdirectory "sub/dir" in a work tree is to limit the output to the paths in the subdirectory, and strip off the leading "sub/dir" from the output, since 3c5e846 (ls-tree: major rewrite to do pathspec, 2005-11-26). This was a "usability" feature made back in the days when the line between Porcelain and plumbing was blurry, and in retrospect, it probably was misguided. The behaviour may be what the end user would expect when the command is run interactively from a subdirectory, but it also means that a scripted Porcelain that wants to use the command to list the full contents of a tree object has to do cd_to_toplevel (and save the output from "rev-parse --show-prefix" before doing so, so that it can be used as a pathspec if it wants to limit its operation to the original subdirectory in other commands). This new option makes the command operate on the full tree object, regardless of where in the work tree it is run from. It also implies the behaviour that is triggered by the existing --full-name option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
