I do not speak ruby (well I suspect I could read it if I wanted
to but I didn't try) so this may or may not be something
Johannes inherited from the original, but I think the code
overcounts blobs and trees for a top-level tree that happens to
have the same blob (or tree) twice.  I am not sure if that is
intended.

Overcounting would give closer estimate for how big a tar
archive would be, or how big an populated working tree would be,
so it could be considered a feature.  It all depends on what
this tools is useful for, I guess.
