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.
Some of the involved shell programming is due to Johannes Sixt.

I thought I had seen instances where it notices something wrong, but still exits with success.

I checked again, and apparently I was dreaming. I changed the tests to use

	test_must_fail git fsck 2>&1 | tee out

instead, which both checks the exit status and makes the tests more verbose with -v.

Indeed. I have a tendency to try and wrap as much as possible into the tests so that it's visible with -v, but here I clearly overshot.

I also used all your shell programming suggestions, thanks a lot.
