Actually, now that I actually look at it, I notice that it doesn't pass in
"--full" to git-fsck-objects, so it doesn't actually work that well in the
presense of dangling objects that are inside pack-files.

(And if it wasn't already obvious, with my patch you still need to do
"git-fsck-objects --full --lost-n-found" if you want to look inside those
pack-files, but at least it's an option you can enable).
