The default output from "fsck" is often overwhelmed by informational
message on dangling objects, especially if you do not repack often, and a
real error can easily be buried.
Add "--no-dangling" option to omit them, and update the user manual to
demonstrate its use.
Based on a patch by Clemens Buchacher, but reverted the part to change
the default to --no-dangling, which is unsuitable for the first patch.
The usual three-step procedure to break the backward compatibility over
time needs to happen on top of this, if we were to go in that direction.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a shared buffer and can be
overwritten by the next resolve_ref() calls. Callers need to
pay attention, not to keep the pointer when the next call happens.
Rename with "_unsafe" suffix to warn developers (or reviewers) before
introducing new call sites.
This patch is generated using the following command
git grep -l 'resolve_ref(' -- '*.[ch]'|xargs sed -i 's/resolve_ref(/resolve_ref_unsafe(/g'

fsck is usually a long process and it would be nice if it prints
progress from time to time.
Progress meter is not printed when --verbose is given because
--verbose prints a lot, there's no need for "alive" indicator.
Progress meter may provide "% complete" information but it would
be lost anyway in the flood of text.

During verify_pack() all objects are read for SHA-1 check. Then
fsck_sha1() is called on every object, which read the object again
(fsck_sha1 -> parse_object -> read_sha1_file).
Avoid reading an object twice, do fsck_sha1 while we have an object
uncompressed data in verify_pack.
On git.git, with this patch I got:

Asking fwrite() to write one item of size bytes results in fwrite()
reporting "I wrote zero item", when size is zero. Instead, we could
ask it to write "size" items of 1 byte and expect it to report that
"I wrote size items" when it succeeds, with any value of size,
including zero.
Noticed and reported by BJ Hargrave.

When there is a random garbage file whose name happens to be 38-byte
long in a .git/objects/??/ directory, the loop terminated prematurely
without marking all the other files that it hasn't checked in the
readdir() loop.
Treat such a file just like any other garbage file, and do not break out
of the readdir() loop.
While at it, replace repeated sprintf() calls to a single one outside the
loop.

Allows better help text to be defined than "be verbose". Also make use
of the macro in places that already had a different description. No
object code changes intended.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
