Yeah, I'm slowly shaking it off too. I used to run git-fsck-objects 
religiously just because I worried about bugs. I still do it, but 
especially with the recursive-strategy merging, I get "dangling blob" 
messages every once in a while that are _not_ due to bugs, but just due to 
the temporary merge object.

So I'm learning to ignore them, and prune the tree only occasionally, 
instead of compulsively every time.
