765 <li>
767 the behaviour is slightly different from that of "/bin/ls" in that the
768 <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> denotes just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying
769 directory name (without <code>-r</code>) will behave differently, and order of the
770 arguments does not matter.
771 </p>
772 </li>
773 <li>
775 the behaviour is similar to that of "/bin/ls" in that the <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> is
776 taken as relative to the current working directory. E.g. when you are
777 in a directory <em>sub</em> that has a directory <em>dir</em>, you can run <em>git
778 ls-tree -r HEAD dir</em> to list the contents of the tree (that is
779 <code>sub/dir</code> in <code>HEAD</code>). You don&#8217;t want to give a tree that is not at the
780 root level (e.g. <code>git ls-tree -r HEAD:sub dir</code>) in this case, as that
781 would result in asking for <code>sub/sub/dir</code> in the <code>HEAD</code> commit.
782 However, the current working directory can be ignored by passing
783 --full-tree option.
