From 62bb99606d0377fc14f206cbdf95acb57149d87a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 23:59:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] git-cat-file: '-s' to find out object size. We use sha1_object_info() now, and getting size is also trivial. I admit that this is more of "because we can" not "because I see immediate need for it", though.
