Wow .. so many responses ...

I also feel that I should express my outrage about your daring "ls does not
do what it should". Pretty confident statement!

Well, the problem is that ./ is the directory you are trying to list in
your example. There is also ../ present.

These dot names are important for traversing the directory tree back.
Without them life would be much more difficult and also significantly
slower.

Git is popular example how painful it can be if you can trace
ownership/relationship one way only. Linus is my hero, but this seems to be
some oversight.
