[v7,3/3] ls-files.c: add --deduplicate option

Commit Message

ZheNing Hu Jan. 24, 2021, 10:54 a.m. UTC

From: ZheNing Hu <[e-mail]>

During a merge conflict, the name of a file may appear multiple
times in "git ls-files" output, once for each stage.  If you use
both `--delete` and `--modify` at the same time, the output may
mention a deleted file twice.

When none of the '-t', '-u', or '-s' options is in use, these
duplicate entries do not add much value to the output.

Introduce a new '--deduplicate' option to suppress them.
