Curiously missing from the above is "unmodified".  You only talked
about modified, untracked, and ignored, but what do you want to do
with them?

As you are grabbing the files from the working tree, I suspect that
you do not want to base your decision on what is in the index, which
means that ls-files might be a wrong tool for the job.
