 424 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 425 <div class="sectionbody">
 426 <div class="paragraph"><p>Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
 427 in the current working directory.  Note that:</p></div>
 428 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 429 <li>
 430 <p>
 431 the behaviour is slightly different from that of "/bin/ls" in that the
 432    <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> denotes just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying
 433    directory name (without <em>-r</em>) will behave differently, and order of the
 434    arguments does not matter.
 435 </p>
 436 </li>
 437 <li>
 438 <p>
 439 the behaviour is similar to that of "/bin/ls" in that the <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> is
 440    taken as relative to the current working directory.  E.g. when you are
 441    in a directory <em>sub</em> that has a directory <em>dir</em>, you can run <em>git
 442    ls-tree -r HEAD dir</em> to list the contents of the tree (that is
 443    <em>sub/dir</em> in <em>HEAD</em>).  You don&#8217;t want to give a tree that is not at the
 444    root level (e.g. <tt>git ls-tree -r HEAD:sub dir</tt>) in this case, as that
 445    would result in asking for <em>sub/sub/dir</em> in the <em>HEAD</em> commit.
 446    However, the current working directory can be ignored by passing
 447    --full-tree option.
