Re: [RFC/PATCH 0/6] hash-object: use fsck to check objects

  [1/6]: t1007: modernize malformed object tests

Obviously good.

  [2/6]: t1006: stop using 0-padded timestamps
  [3/6]: t7030: stop using invalid tag name

These two are pleasant to see and revealed what are "accepted" by
mistake, quite surprisingly.

  [4/6]: t: use hash-object --literally when created malformed objects

The --literally option was invented initially primarily to allow a
bogus type of object (e.g. "hash-object -t xyzzy --literally") but I
am happy to see that we are finding different uses.  I wonder if
these objects of known types but with syntactically bad contents can
be "repack"ed from loose into packed?

  [5/6]: fsck: provide a function to fsck buffer without object struct

Obvious, clean and very nice.

  [6/6]: hash-object: use fsck for object checks
