===============
NAME
----
git-cat-file - Provide content or type information for repository objects
SYNOPSIS
--------
[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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

<object> is also permitted. An example is to ask for a
"tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it,
or to ask for a "blob" with <object> being a tag object that
points at it.
