In the RFC series I sent this was first implemented in terms of the --format option, and I skipped the custom implementation you're adding here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/RFC-patch-7.7-5e34df4f8dd-20211217T131635Z-avarab@gmail.com/

I think in terms of patch series structure it would make sense to do that, and then have this custom --object-only implementation in terms of not-"--format " follow from that, and thus with the tests for the two (we'd add the tests you're adding here first, just for a --format="%(objectname)" or whatever) we'd see that the two are 1=1 equivalent in terms of functionality, but that this one is <X>% more optimized.
