OK I lied. In fact those are the frequency of the most used name amongst all tree objects, not the number of unique names.

The real number of unique path components in the Linux repo is 16073.
For the GIT tree it is 1444.

Just for fun here's the 10 most used path components in the Linux kernel with their number of hits:

12263: Makefile 5541: Kconfig 4050: kernel 3960: net 3818: lib 3785: mm 3665: crypto 3337: sound 3185: include 3181: README
