Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] builtin/repo: find tree with most entries

From: Justin Tobler <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:41:20 -0600

The size of a tree object usually corresponds with the number of entries
it has. While iterating through objects in the repository for
git-repo-structure, identify the tree with the most entries and display
it in the output.
