Yup, I recall a thread we recently had where we wondered why we see two entries reported when we ask for 'modified' and 'deleted' at the same time. Perhaps not-so-low-hanging fruit miniproject would be to teach "ls-files" a new "--dedup" option that does two things: * When -m and -d are asked at the same time, ignore '-d', because '-d' will give duplicates for subsets of what '-m' would show anyway; and * When neither -s nor -u is given, do not show the same path more than once, even the ones with multiple stages.
