git ls-tree output of working directory?

git, git-ls-tree

Solution

`git ls-tree` only works with git refs, e.g. `ls-tree HEAD` or `ls-tree 1.9.1`

Try `git ls-files`. You probably want the `-s` and/or `-m` flags.

As you point out, `git ls-files -s` will list the files in the index (i.e. files that have been staged).

In theory, you could mess with the index, run `git ls-files -s`, then try restore it, e.g.

git commit
git add .
git ls-files -s
git reset .
git reset --soft HEAD^

Seems right, and worked in a simple test, but could eat all your files.

Problem

I am looking for a way to have output in the same manner as `ls-tree`, but of my working directory. Whenever I run `git ls-tree .` it says `fatal: Not a valid object name .`
