Hi,

A broken link is when an object references another object, and the 
latter was not found in the object database.

For example, commits reference parent commits and a tree.  A tree 
references trees and blobs.  A tag references arbitrary objects.

I am not very good in writing documentation... could you give it a try?

Thanks,
