The use case in mind is --max-depth=0 to stop recursion. With this we can do

git config --global alias.ls 'ls-files --column --color --max-depth=0'

and have "git ls" with an output very similar to GNU ls. Another
interesting one is

git config --global alias.lso 'ls-files --column --color --max-depth=0 -o 
--exclude-standard'
