That 00d8bbd3c4bba72a6dfd48c2c0c9cbaa000f13c2 is v0.99.7c commit.

While I do not doubt your git repository is missing that object, it probably is a buggy clone method. Let me see if I can reproduce.

    $ git clone http://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ git-clone
    (says a lot of "got" and "walk" here)
    $ cd git-clone
    $ git-cat-file -t 00d8bbd3c4bba72a6dfd48c2c0c9cbaa000f13c2
    commit
    $ git-fsck-objects
    $ git-fsck-objects --full
    $ exit

Nope.  Things look OK from here.
