Each object is stored at .git/objects/<xz>/<tail> with <xz> being the first
2 characters of the sha1 and the tail the remaining 38 characters of the sha1.
I did not draw a conclusion yet, as I needed to run for a meeting.

So the object you're looking for is not there (stating this as a fact).
But why would you expect it to be there? At the time of sending the previous
email I tried to do a reverse search "Give me all objects, which
reference objectX"
but did not succeed yet.
