Patches to the documentation is very much welcomed.

Somewhere the similarity must end, and actually it ends a lot
earlier, as "/bin/ls" takes exact paths while "ls-tree" (or any
other Git command for that matter) takes a pathspec pattern,
and not having a path that matches the pathspec pattern is not
an error condition.

Thanks.
