Side note: that's not to say that I would really see why you'd want to have both the tree and the commit SHA1's, and why you seemingly think that the links don't need a filename. Hmm? If you require the tree objects to be in the database, you might as well require that the commit object be there. But you could make rules that say that subprojects don't need the whole commit history, for example (which is just a shallow clone in the subproject).
