Fixed it!

My syntax for the while loop that checked STATE was bad. In bash, you have to use -a instead of &&:

Code:
while [ "$STATE" != "MI" -a "$STATE" != "OH" -a "$STATE" != "IL" -a "$STATE" != "IN" ];do
   echo "Sorry, that's not an accepted state."
   echo "Enter State: "; read STATE
done

And for some reason, my bash won't recognize the let command... so I have to use expr instead for a counter:

Code:
COUNT=0
while [ "$COUNT" -le "5" ]; do
  echo "Count is less than 5."
  COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
done

The wonders of a good night's sleep.....

GIT-COUNT-OBJECTS(1)                                                Git Manual                                                GIT-COUNT-OBJECTS(1)

NAME

       git-count-objects - Count unpacked number of objects and their disk consumption

SYNOPSIS

       git count-objects [-v] [-H | --human-readable]

DESCRIPTION

       This counts the number of unpacked object files and disk space consumed by them, to help you decide when it is a good time to repack.

OPTIONS

       -v, --verbose
           Report in more detail:

           count: the number of loose objects

           size: disk space consumed by loose objects, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

           in-pack: the number of in-pack objects

           size-pack: disk space consumed by the packs, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

           prune-packable: the number of loose objects that are also present in the packs. These objects could be pruned using git prune-packed.

           garbage: the number of files in object database that are neither valid loose objects nor valid packs

           size-garbage: disk space consumed by garbage files, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

           alternate: absolute path of alternate object databases; may appear multiple times, one line per path. Note that if the path contains
           non-printable characters, it may be surrounded by double-quotes and contain C-style backslashed escape sequences.
