ipfs ls gets stuck

[Kubuxu]

ipfs object get works but ls gets stuck:

ipfs object get QmcmPko2PHCLnLqZTZXjPf4FLKyYjKDpb9VDbH6cVWTsU7
{"Links":[{"Name":".githash","Hash":"QmdG39xEJFK2YmYFxBYip1wCfvhSjVEXqCYnERJY2JY7rC","Size":49},{"Name":"ajax","Hash":"Qmdswc3USf1YoXWbUHUMDAcvwDjkwuPcq5ja4kiFAy5rZx","Size":20796815067}],"Data":"\u0008\u0001"}

Goroutine trace: https://gist.github.com/Kubuxu/ab56191ccb9aa725d5230f22bcd86f1a

It is probably due to fact that one file got lost and is no longer available: fs:/ipfs/QmcmPko2PHCLnLqZTZXjPf4FLKyYjKDpb9VDbH6cVWTsU7/.githash

This can be resolved if we drop Type from ls result.

yeah... ipfs ls has the unixfs info encoded in it. We made ipfs files ls to be the 'correct' tool for this purpose. I wonder if we should look at deprecating that feature of ipfs ls.

In any case, you can add --timeout=10s to the command to make it not take longer than ten seconds

The only reason for blocking the node is adding a slash over here: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/core/commands/ls.go#L119

Of course it can be useful from the API but please take a look at #2824
