[PATCH] ls-tree for listing trees

ls-tree tool provides just a way to export the binary tree objects
to a usable text format. This is bound to be useful in variety
of scripts, although none of those I have currently uses it.
But e.g. the simple script I've sent to HPA for purging the object
database uses it.
