Yeah, I think it might report wrong size in case of replaced objects for example. I looked at that following Junio's comment about the sha1_object_info() API, which, unlike read_sha1_file() API, does not interact with the "replace" mechanism: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/234023/ I started to work on a patch about this but didn't take the time to finish and post it.
