This is not 'freedom' it is excessive complexity.

`ls` wouldn't be better if I had to pass a flag to see the output as today, and another flag to print one character per line, and another flag to print each character in a different color etc. (even though that would give me 'more freedom').



I don’t think that git forces you to use all these bells and whistles. Also I am not sure if ls would be better with additional flags, but it won’t be worse because of that, that’s for sure.
