Re: git fsck not identifying corrupted packs

Until I read this thread, I didn't realize you needed --full to check
objects in packs.

Same here.

-	OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "full", &check_full, "also consider alternate objects"),
+	OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "full", &check_full, "also consider packs and alternate objects"),

IMHO, something like this should be applied to "maint", this is kind
of a serious bug indeed. Just check the "alternate" thing, according
to Junio:

    Side note.  I think the help description of --full option is wrong (or
    at least stale).  We always look at alternate object store these days
    since e15ef66 (fsck: check loose objects from alternate object stores
    by default, 2009-01-30).  It probably should read "check packed
    objects fully" or something.
