You sure have a lot of objects for only having two commits and two
files.  Maybe some of the objects are loose ones?  Try running
'git gc --prune' to see if that removes them.  But be aware that
this deletes them all, you might want to check first if the loose
objects are something you wanted to keep (with 'git fsck' and 'git
show').
