You never free this buffer.

It would also be nice if you saved "tree" objects in some temporary file and did not install them until after you had fetched all the blobs and trees that this tree references. Then if your connection is interrupted you can just restart it.

Otherwise this looks really nice. I was going to script something similar using "wget" ... but that would have made zillions of seperate connections. Not so kind to the server.
