ls--list modules, files and directories in the repository

Lists the contents of the repository, and optionally the latest version information from files within the repository.

Used without any parameters, it lists the toplevel directories (modules) in the repository. This includes directories created using the modules2 file.

The list is followed by the contents of the modules file, if available.
