 From git I got this:
$git-fsck-objects
missing commit 00d8bbd3c4bba72a6dfd48c2c0c9cbaa000f13c2
broken link from     tag 02b2acff8bafb6d73c6513469cdda0c6c18c4138

Your git tree is quote possibly corrupted.

I recloned from http://kernel.org and I still get exactly the same fsck
errors for git, with or without the --full flag.

That 00d8bbd3c4bba72a6dfd48c2c0c9cbaa000f13c2 is v0.99.7c commit.

While I do not doubt your git repository is missing that object,
it probably is a buggy clone method.  Let me see if I can
reproduce.

    $ git clone http://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ git-clone
    (says a lot of "got" and "walk" here)
    $ cd git-clone
    $ git-cat-file -t 00d8bbd3c4bba72a6dfd48c2c0c9cbaa000f13c2
    commit
    $ git-fsck-objects
    $ git-fsck-objects --full
    $ exit

Nope.  Things look OK from here.
