The following command has served me well for this purpose. I apply
it to each ref in git-for-each-ref:

$ git rev-list --objects $ref | git cat-file --batch-check

It may not be the fastest way to do it, but it did the trick for
me. I then simply deleted any broken refs using git update-ref -d
$ref, even if the tip of the branch was still intact. I could have
tried to salvage some history from those refs, but I had a backup
and at that point I just wanted to continue working.
