SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-z] <tree-ish> [paths...]

Lists the contents of a tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
in the current working directory.

-d::
show only the named tree entry itself, not its children
-r::

paths::
When paths are given, show them. Otherwise implicitly
uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument.
Output Format

in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
respectively.
