Hi Stefan,

I also came up with a script to do that:
https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/blob/master/bin/what-made-this-repo-so-large.sh

Your method is much more elegant, of course (it describes the commit in the
same run as it finds the object, and it does not output tons of stuff only
to be filtered).

Personally, I would call this process_commit_data, but I do not mind too
much about the name.

s/not/neither/

Nicely done, sir!

I wonder whether it would make sense to extend this to tree objects while
we are at it, but maybe that's an easy up-for-grabs.

Thank you very much!
