+git rev-list --objects HEAD
+----------
+
+* Compare the disk size of all reachable objects, versus those
+ reachable from reflogs, versus the total packed size. This can tell

+ (by dropping unreachable objects), and whether expiring reflogs might

+----------

+* Report the disk size of each branch, not including objects used by the
+ current branch. This can find outliers that are contributing to a
+ bloated repository size (e.g., because somebody accidentally committed
+ large build artifacts).

+----------
+
+* Compare the on-disk size of branches in one group of refs, excluding
+ another. If you co-mingle objects from multiple remotes in a single
+ repository, this can show which remotes are contributing to the
+ repository size (taking the size of `origin` as a baseline).
