I also found some corrupted objects in some cases that prevent the gc from completing. I am running "git gc" followed by "git fsck". The majority of the repos I have worked through so far appear to be fine, but in the larger repos (upwards of 2-3 GB) the git fsck is taking almost 5 times longer than the 'gc'. If I could assume that a successful 'git gc' means an fsck is not needed, I'd save a lot of time. Hence my question. -- Sitaram
