[PATCH] fsck --lost-found: show found commits human readably

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>]

An earlier commit fc8b5f0 (Deprecate git-lost-found, 2007-11-08) declared
"lost-found" deprecated, because "fsck" learned "--lost-found" option that
drops the found objects in $GIT_DIR/lost-found.

But the output from the lost-found program has been much more informative
than the plain vanilla "git fsck" (or "git fsck --lost-found") output.  In
that sense, forcing users to use "fsck --lost-found" when they want to use
"lost-found" is a regression.

This patch slightly enhances the output from "fsck --lost-found" to add
oneline description at the end of the usual "dangling <type> <sha-1>"
message for commit objects it found.

 * Is it just me, or were we very sloppy during 1.5.4 cycle that we are
   getting hit by regressions left and right today from that period?

   This looks bigger than it really is because most of it is about
   moving a deeply nested part of another function into a separate
   function.

   This is _not_ a 1.5.5 material, as we are not removing git-lost-found
   yet.  We might however want to revert fc8b5f0, though, until an
   enhancement along this line is in the mainline.
