At this point, do we know (or can we tell) if this is a missing
object or a file exists as a loose object but is corrupt?  If we
could, it would be nice to do this only for the former to avoid
sweeping a real corruption that is unrelated to the lazy fetch under
the rug.

Before all this is run, there is a check over all loose and packed
objects and I've verified that this check reports failure in
corrupt-object situations (see test below).

It is true that parse_object() cannot report the difference, but since
fsck has already verified non-corruptness, I don't think it needs to
know the difference at this point.

And a new test that uses a helper different from delete_object
(perhaps call it corrupt_object?) can be used to make sure that we
complain in that case here.

I agree that object corruption can cause this specific part of the
production code to falsely work. But I think that this specific part of
the code can and should rely on object corruption being checked
elsewhere. (I usually don't like to assume that other components work
and will continue to work, but in this case, I think that fsck checking
for object corruption is very foundational and should be relied upon.)

But if we think that defense "in depth" is a good idea, I have no
problem adding such tests (like the one below).


It's good to know that object corruption is already being checked elsewhere in fsck. I agree that you should be able to rely that as long as it is guaranteed to run. I'd rather see a single location in the code that has the logic to detect corrupted objects rather than two copies (or worse, two different versions).

Are there also tests for validating the object corruption detection code? If not, adding some (like below) would be great.
