"strip" removes only debug information. It has no affect on text, data, and bss
sections. You can try to run "size git-shell" before and after
"strip", and you'll
see the same numbers.

BTW, it is possible to reduce the "text" and "data" size twice more
using the whole
program optimization, as it will discard some functions that are not
actually used,
but I don't think it is worth pursuing as it will complicate complication.
