Thanks for your suggestion. How did you think this should be done?
Writing a extra function in ls-files, just for outputting? I don't
think it is necessary to write a extra function, since the result
from the read_index_from function in read-cache is used for that
anyway. Or did you have something different in mind, that I'm missing
here?
