Re: [PATCH] fsck --lost-found: write blob's contents, not their SHA-1

Johannes Schindelin [off-list ref] writes:

When looking for a lost blob, it is much nicer to be able to grep
through .git/lost-found/other/* than to write an inefficient loop
over the file names.  So write the contents of the dangling blobs,
not their object names.

I think this is an idea to solve a good problem, but if we go
this route, the need for us to worry about expiring lost-found
entries would become more urgent, I suspect.

And when you think about expiring lost-found entries, another
possible solution emerges.  If we teach git-prune to remove the
corresponding entry from lost-found/other when it removes a
loose blob from the object store, then we can easily and safely
do this instead:

	$ cat .git/lost-found/other/* |
	  xargs -r git grep 'the word to look for'
