They're showing up with 'gitk --all'. I've made a backup so I can
expire the reflog and see if they go away.

gitk --all shouldn't be showing stuff just because it's in the reflog.
 Does it have a branchname tag next to it?  Have you exit/restarted
gitk or are you just using its refresh button?  The latter doesn't
work very well across branch deletion.

The commits do have tags. I'll try deleting them and gc'ing again.

Deleting the tags seemed to do the trick as far as removing the
detached commits in gitk.

Now git gc seems to be stuck

~/linux> git --version
git version 1.7.1

~/linux> git gc
Counting objects: 20058 (went away made a coffee, came back still
stuck at 20058)

I've attached with gdb and have the following trace if its of any use
(sorry I don't have debug symbols for libz). I've still got the
debugger attached if anyone wants me to dump out anything else.

Looks like its come back now. I guess there was just one object that
was taking a while to pack.
