Hi,
I still think that it would make the most sense to do the following
(if you insist on some sort of automated repair):
(1) Fetch a good clone (or clones) into a temporary directory;
(2) Cannibalize the objects from it (them);
(3) Re-run git fsck and check for still-missing / unreachable
How would the broken repository be sure of what it is missing to
request it from the other side?
fsck will find missing objects.
And what about the objects referred to by objects that are missing?
Will be fetched after multiple iterations.
We could even introduce some 'fsck

Hi,
You can't reliably just grab the broken objects, because most
transports
don't support grabbing arbitrary objects (you can do it if you have
shell access to a known-good repository, but it's not automated).

can we introduce a new or extend existing transports to support that ?

Hi folks,
suppose the following scenario:
I've broken some repo (missing objects), eg by messing something up
w/ alternates, broken filesystem, or whatever. And I've got a bunch
of remotes which (together) contain all of the lost objects.
Now I'd like to run some $magic_command which
