Package: coreutils
Version: 8.23-2
Severity: wishlist
File: /bin/ls

I would like to use --dereference on a certain type of file (git
annex symlinks). Adding it to an ls alias also "hides" all other
symlinks.

Instead, I would love to be able to say

  ls --dereference-if-reference-matches=*.git/annex/objects/* …

is this something worth considering or would this functionality
never make it into coreutils?

Thank you,
