There is the `--filter='object:type=blob'` that should do what you're
looking for.

In other words, if you wanted to dump the contents of all blobs in your
repository, this should do the trick:

  $ git rev-list --all --objects --filter='object:type=blob' |
    git cat-file --batch[=<format>]

Thanks,
Taylor
