Hi,

When ever I make a commit (assume I'm changing a single file) and do a
'git push origin master', git says 'Counting objects: 6, done.'

Does git makes 6 objects everytime? What are those objects?

1 commit object;
1 blob object for the new file revision;
1 tree object for the top level directory;
3 tree objects for intermediate paths
= 6

So your single file is some path like "src/main/lib/foo.c".

```
