One thing I'd also like to see is some thought/documentation of what
kind of information should go into this command and what shouldn't. For
e.g. should number of references in a repo be part of this command, or
the `git refs` command. More broadly, which subsystem information should
be exposed via `git repo-info` and how do we draw that line.

Mostly to not create a new `git rev-parse` alternative.

I've also gone ahead and reviewed the patches individually and left some
comments.
