Possible to see the dir tree of a makepkg git cloned repo? [solved]

When makepkg clones a git repo is it possible to see the file structure of that git repo as if I cloned it?  For example, I built linux-firmware-git from the AUR.  When I enter the repo makepkg cloned, I see:

% ls
branches  hooks  info  objects  refs  HEAD  config  description  packed-refs

If I clone the source repo (eg
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … mware.git), I see the dirtree git is managing.  Output of the below is truncated:

$ ls
3com                                        LICENCE.via_vt6656                 iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0-92.ucode
acenic                                      LICENCE.wl1251                     iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0-94.ucode
adaptec                                     LICENCE.xc4000                     iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0.pnvm

makepkg clones the repo as bare repo, you therefore most easily need to create a clone from the bare repo:

$ git clone --bare https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/devtools.git
$ cd devtools.git
$ ls 
branches  config  description  HEAD  hooks  info  objects  packed-refs  refs
$ cd ..
$ git clone devtools.git devtools
$ cd devtools
$ ls
cliff.toml  config  contrib  doc  LICENSE  Makefile  README.md  src  test

Which underlying problem are you trying to solve?

Thanks for the reply, gromit.  Just wondering if it is possible to see the files from makepkg's clone to avoid having to clone the repo myself if that makes sense.  I was unaware of the --bare option but found that I can see the working files from a --bare clone

git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD
git ls-tree -r HEAD
