And that's off by one on either end. :)

    git-rev-list --objects HEAD | sort | perl -lne '
      substr($_, 40) = "";
      if (defined $p) {
        ($p ^ $_) =~ /^(\0*)/;
        $common = length $1;
        if (defined $pcommon) {
          $count[$pcommon > $common ? $pcommon : $common]++;
        } else {
          $count[$common]++; # first item
        }
      }
      $p = $_;
      $pcommon = $common;
      END {
        $count[$common]++; # last item
        print "$_: $count[$_]" for 0..$#count;
      }
    '

Which now yields:

    0: 
    1: 
    2: 6
    3: 21155
    4: 15008
    5: 1232
    6: 90
    7: 
    8: 2

And *that* totals to 37493, which is the number of objects.  Yeay.
