Just a quick aside.  Since (a2b665d, 2011-01-05) you can provide
the filename as an argument to the filter script:

    git config --global filter.huge.clean huge-clean %f

then use it in place:

    $ cat >huge-clean 
    #!/bin/sh
    f="$1"
    echo orig file is "$f" >&2
    sha1=`sha1sum "$f" | cut -d' ' -f1`
    cp "$f" /tmp/big_storage/$sha1
    rm -f "$f"
    echo $sha1
