So, is the repos corrupt or not? Also, I don't understand why you say

There is no file 28/0c... however.

Why would you expect there to be? I don't see it mentioned in that list.
Each object is stored at .git/objects/<xz>/<tail> with <xz> being the first 2 characters of the sha1 and the tail the remaining 38 characters of the sha1. I did not draw a conclusion yet, as I needed to run for a meeting.
So the object you're looking for is not there (stating this as a fact). But why would you expect it to be there? At the time of sending the previous email I tried to do a reverse search "Give me all objects, which reference objectX" but did not succeed yet.
Ok. See my reply to Matthieu Moy for context. I make have been taking too
much for granted before posting to this list. Maybe I should have asked
here first.
As I wrote to him, I can reconstruct the original setup if anyone thinks
it is worthwhile trying to investigate further.
