Have you done clones with stupid protocols (rsync and/or http)?

I do not remember having used any dump transport on this repository but
I recall having tried git-repack with the intent of git gc.

So try "git fsck --full", and see if that changes the picture.

This did not change anything.

The easiest fixup is likely to just do "git gc", which which do a nice 
repack, and get rid of loose objects that are duplicates of stuff 
that is also in a pack-file.

This fixed things and also warned about two heads referring to pruned
commits, which may be those two commits I removed by hand (I hope).

Cheers,
Domenico
