"git repo structure" provides a collection of useful information about the information stored in a repo. In particular, it's valuable for diagnosing performance issues caused by large objects stored in a repo.

The current implementation of "git repo stucture" provides summary information about everything in the repository - all of the branches, remotes, tags, stashes, and notes. But sometimes to properly diagnose a problem, it's useful to be able to get information about the specific part of the repo that's exhibiting a problem.

Add the option to specify a set of revs. If revs are included, then the set of objects processed will be limited based on the rev specification; otherwise, all objects will be processed.
