Sorry, when I said "I'm a newbie", I meant "pretend I'm a newbie" :-)
My point was that this is all too confusing for a newbie; the fact that you
had to descend to talk about SHA-1 and blob hashes, really serves to
strengthen my point. What does a non-developer care about hashes, blobs,
trees, commits, or objects?
In this case however, I withdrew my complaint because it's argued that
git-ls-files is not the right tool for this purpose anyway.
