daae1922 (fsck: check ident lines in commit objects, 2010-04-24)
taught fsck to expect commit objects to have the form
tree <object name>
<parents>
author <valid ident string>
committer <valid ident string>
log message
The check is overly strict: for example, it errors out with the
message “expected blank line” for perfectly valid commits with an
"encoding ISO-8859-1" line.
Later it might make sense to teach fsck about the rest of the header
and warn about unrecognized header lines, but for simplicity, let’s
accept arbitrary trailing lines for now.

Check that email addresses do not contain <, >, or newline so they can
be quickly scanned without trouble. The copy() function in ident.c
already ensures that ordinary git commands will not write email
addresses without this property.

Almost exactly a year ago in 02a6552 (Test fsck a bit harder), I
introduced two testcases that were expecting failure.
However, the only bug was that the testcases wrote *blobs* because I
forgot to pass -t tag to hash-object. Fix this, and then adjust the
rest of the test to properly check the result.

git-fsck, of all tools, has very few tests. This adds some more:
* a corrupted object;
* a branch pointing to a non-commit;
* a tag pointing to a nonexistent object;
* and a tag pointing to an object of a type other than what the tag
itself claims.
Only the first two are caught. At least the third probably should,
too, but currently slips through.

"git fsck" used to validate only loose objects that are local and nothing
else by default. This is not just too little when a repository is
borrowing objects from other object stores, but also caused the
connectivity check to mistakenly declare loose objects borrowed from them
to be missing.
The rationale behind the default mode that validates only loose objects is
because these objects are still young and more unlikely to have been
pushed to other repositories yet. That holds for loose objects borrowed
from alternate object stores as well.

By default we looked at all refs but not HEAD. The only thing that made
fsck not lose sight of commits that are only reachable from a detached
HEAD was the reflog for the HEAD.
This fixes it, with a new test.
