Subject: git fsck: unreachable vs. dangling
Message-ID: <CAHGBnuOYLpkeUop9vNH3+WSKqrM3NCSqvu-NZnPnk3gEkAr6eg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

reading through the fsck docs [1] I'm having a hard time understanding
what the difference between "unreachable" and "dangling" objects are.

By example, suppose I have a commit A that is the tip of exactly one
branch (and no tag or other ref points to A). If I delete that branch,
is A now dangling, or unreachable, or both?
