 (fsck: check ident lines in commit objects, 2010-04-24)
taught fsck to expect commit objects to have the form

  tree <object name>
  <parents>
  author <valid ident string>
  committer <valid ident string>

  log message

The check is overly strict: for example, it errors out with the
message “expected blank line” for perfectly valid commits with an
"encoding ISO-8859-1" line.

Later it might make sense to teach fsck about the rest of the header
and warn about unrecognized header lines, but for simplicity, let’s
accept arbitrary trailing lines for now.
