We prefer $(command substitution) over `command substitution`.  

When "cat-file" segfaults and dumps core, having it upstream of a pipe would mean its crashing will be hidden.

Note that some implementations of "wc" pads its output with SP. The implication will be seen in a few paragraphs below.

> +	commit_sha=`git log --pretty=format:'%H' -n 1` &&

These single quotes are not doing what you think they are doing. The body of the test is inside a pair of single quotes, and the one after format: makes you step outside the single quote, take two bytes %H literally, and the other single quote opens a new singly quoted string segment. Which is not wrong per-se, because there is no special meaning attached to the sequence %H in the shell language, but then you'd be better off writing format:%H without any quotes, as that is more direct way to write what you are writing.

Also, --pretty=format:<something> is almost always a mistake. Unless you have a good reason to use it, you'd most likely want to use --format=<something> instead.

In any case, don't abuse "log" when you mean
    commit_object_name=$(git rev-parse HEAD) &&
> +	echo "$commit_sha commit $commit_size" >expect &&

As $commit_size here may have extra and unwanted SP before it, this may break with the implementation of "wc" on certain platforms. In this particular instance, losing quoting, i.e.

	echo $commit_sha commit $commit_size >expect
may be a good workaround.
> +	commit_size=`git cat-file --use-mailmap commit HEAD | wc -c` &&
Exactly the same set of comments as above apply to this side, too.
