I was trying to "do stuff" using hash-object -t tree --stdin -w,
but I accidentally created trees where other trees were marked as
blobs. They were dangling and not connected to any actual commits
on my branches.

After gc and fsck clean ups, everything reports well...

Except:

$ GIT_TRACE=1 git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch=objecttype

gc and fsck may not have pruned the dangling object yet, but
--batch-all-objects is a request to enumerate objects that exist in
the repository, regardless of their reachability from any ref.

Perhaps "git prune --expire=now" would get rid of it?

Both that and

git -c gc.reflogExpire=now -c gc.reflogExpireUnreachable=now   -c gc.rerereresolved=now -c gc.rerereunresolved=now   -c gc.pruneExpire=now -c gc.worktreePruneExpire=now gc --prune=now --aggressive

leave it in.
