That would be more like 'git ls-packs' to me, but as Junio pointed out why add a command just to count packs, and as others have said recently "Git has too many commands!".
<funny-and-not-to-be-taken-seriously> I like git-count-stuff. So generic. Maybe we can shove git-pickaxe in as the --count-lines-and-authors-andthings option of git-count-stuff, seeing as how some people didn't like its name. :-) </funny-and-not-to-be-taken-seriously>
