Well, for my money :)

The 'ls' command should default to listing files in the current directory and 
its subdirs unless the --no-recurse option is provided.  

A '--cwd' option which allowed you to specify a path relative from the root 
would be useful.

Optimally, it would simply output a list of files (one per line) without any 
extra formatting, but I could live with single character delimiters.

Oh, and a --print0 option would be extremely useful as well.

Understood.
