Well, I guess it's useful if somehow your repository got corrupted, and
you want to pinpoint where it occurred.

My main comment as a reviewer is I think that there are a lot of
unrelated changes in this patch set - in particular, the first 7 tests
(1 fsck test that refactors something unrelated, 1 fsck test that I
presume will be overridden later, and 5 tests for other commands
unrelated to fsck). I'll also give comments on individual patches.
