Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-7378:
-----------------------------------------
Comments:
# Requires updating src/documentation/content/xdocs/file_system_shell.xml
# Naming dirRecurse to noDirRecurse or treatDirAsFiles captures the spirit of
-d flag better. This also avoids negative logic.
# Why do you need to combine setRecurse() with dirRecurse? Can they be left
independent of each other and dirRecurse overrides the setRecurse() behavior?
# Can you please add a unit test for -d, -R, -d and -R?

> In a nutshell, ls needs the ability to list a directory but not its contents.
> W/o -d, it is impossible to list the root directory's owner, permissions,
> etc. See the original hdfs bug for details.
