Just for the record, I scanned through the git mailing list looking for
traces of these two modes, but couldn't find anything. You could try
reading the fsck source...
There are some perl scripts around on StackOverflow that can help you find
the same information.
My guess is that this is some undocumented feature which is only enabled in
some particular cases..
Here's what happens when I try removing some random object in my Git repo
(using Git 2.0.0):
git init; git add .;git commit -m "inital"
rm .git/objects/00/79c7f07eb4bfbc08cc21f3324e7997e0b05415
git fsck
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
broken link from tree c862bb1ab77b0d118009961c1f06d8954f98db8f
to tree 0079c7f07eb4bfbc08cc21f3324e7997e0b05415
missing tree 0079c7f07eb4bfbc08cc21f3324e7997e0b05415
Here I tried removing a blob instead:
rm .git/objects/ac/9ea1b673c0bb4501415550d492474700d6bd2f
git fsck
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
missing blob ac9ea1b673c0bb4501415550d492474700d6bd2f
So, recreated the issue, in any case. The only difference was that I found
the blob-to-delete by looking with ls-tree, while the first one was totally
random.
I'd keep trying around a bit, see if you can find a pattern, and then ask
on the git-dev list.
