Thanks very much for the elucidation. I really must RTFMs. Only 44.786 Kib lines. Porcelain (mostly) first. I just can't eliminate the reading I need to do. FWIW, I was somewhat perplexed by searching for c969f19f8fd17e600a16fe91aab66d86936cce0a in 'gitk -all'. It doesn't find it BUT if I use --select-commit=c969f19f8fd17e600a16fe91aab66d86936cce0a then positions to it. If I position away again it again can't find it. Bother! BTW, this was all occasioned by looking for unused large packed blobs as an educational exercise.
