You sure have a lot of objects for only having two commits and two files. Maybe some of the objects are loose ones? Try running 'git gc --prune' to see if that removes them. But be aware that this deletes them all, you might want to check first if the loose objects are something you wanted to keep (with 'git fsck' and 'git show').
