I mentioned this in an email to the original poster in which I forgot to also CC the mailing list:
By "without any objects" in your email subject, do you mean "without blob and tree objects"? If yes, there is some code in the md/filter-trees branch that can do that with a "--filter=tree:0" option. As far as I know, it is not yet in any released version of Git, but hopefully will be in the next one (the "What's Cooking" [1] email mentions that it will be merged to the "next" branch, which is one of the steps before it is released).
