Dear diary, on Mon, Sep 26, 2005 at 05:04:25PM CEST, I got a letter where Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> told me that...

Actually, it would be nice to be able to tell git-fsck-objects to only verify objects which are referenced between given two commits (perhaps just make it support the ^object notation). Then I wouldn't mind running that after each rsync fetch in Cogito.
