It probably is also a good idea to add a "--loose" option that does what
"fsck" currently does without "--full".  It is a good name

--no-full works

It works.  Technically.  For human users, though, --loose-objects-only 
(with a shortcut "--loose") would be better.

OTOH, the advantage of "--no-full" is that it's compatible with
existing Git versions. If I learn Git 1.6.6 with --no-full, and use it
in a script, then my stript works also with older Gits.

But anyway, I think very few people are actually interested in "git
--no-full" (or call it whatever you like), so I don't think this is
very important.
