example tree object:

100644 blob <sha1 of blob>    README
100644 blob <sha1 of blob>    REPORTING-BUGS
100644 link <sha1 of blob>     <sha1 of commit>
040000 tree <sha1 of tree>    arch
040000 tree <sha1 of tree>    block
040000 link <sha1 of tree>     <sha1 of commit>

Sorry, I was sloppy and forgot the names:

100644 blob <sha1 of blob>    README
100644 blob <sha1 of blob>    REPORTING-BUGS
100644 link <sha1 of blob>     <sha1 of commit>   AUTHORS
040000 tree <sha1 of tree>    arch
040000 tree <sha1 of tree>    block
040000 link <sha1 of tree>     <sha1 of commit>   misc

Now it doesn't looks like trees/blobs anymore so maybe a link object
is handy: 

100644 blob <sha1 of blob>    README
100644 blob <sha1 of blob>    REPORTING-BUGS
100644 link <sha1 of link>      AUTHORS
040000 tree <sha1 of tree>    arch
040000 tree <sha1 of tree>    block
040000 link <sha1 of link>     misc

link-object:
<sha1 of commit>
<sha1 of tree/blob>

What do you need <sha1 of tree/blob> for in link-object? Wouldn't you
use usually the sha1 of top tree of a commit, which is uniquely defined
by commit object, so you need only <ahs1 of commit>?
