DESCRIPTION
-----------
with --no-full.
--connectivity-only::
- Check only the connectivity of tags, commits and tree objects. By
- avoiding to unpack blobs, this speeds up the operation, at the
- expense of missing corrupt objects or other problematic issues.
+ Check only the connectivity of reachable objects, making sure
+ that any objects referenced by a reachable tag, commit, or tree
+ is present. This speeds up the operation by avoiding reading
+ blobs entirely (though it does still check that referenced blobs
+ exist). This will detect corruption in commits and trees, but
+ not do any semantic checks (e.g., for format errors). Corruption
+ in blob objects will not be detected at all.
++
+Unreachable tags, commits, and trees will also be accessed to find the
+tips of dangling segments of history. Use `--no-dangling` if you don't
+care about this output and want to speed it up further.
--strict::
Enable more strict checking, namely to catch a file mode
a blob, the contents are written into the file, rather than
its object name.
+--name-objects::
+ When displaying names of reachable objects, in addition to the
+ SHA-1 also display a name that describes *how* they are reachable,
+ compatible with linkgit:git-rev-parse[1], e.g.
+ `HEAD@{1234567890}~25^2:src/`.
+
--[no-]progress::
Progress status is reported on the standard error stream by
default when it is attached to a terminal, unless
(i.e., you can just remove them and do an 'rsync' with some other site in
the hopes that somebody else has the object you have corrupted).
+If core.commitGraph is true, the commit-graph file will also be inspected
+using 'git commit-graph verify'. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1].

Extracted Diagnostics
---------------------
The <type> object <object>, is present in the database but never
'directly' used. A dangling commit could be a root node.
-sha1 mismatch <object>::
- The database has an object who's sha1 doesn't match the
- database value.
+hash mismatch <object>::
+ The database has an object whose hash doesn't match the
+ object database value.
This indicates a serious data integrity problem.
