I do not offhand think of a command that only takes pathname, including "ls-files". New users would think "git cmd README" is taking a single filename "README", and "ls-files" doc uses "file" in a misguided attempt to be "newbie friendly", but it always has used that "README" string as a pattern to match paths against.
