Hi,
reading through the fsck docs [1] I'm having a hard time understanding
what the difference between unreachable and dangling objects are.
By example, suppose I have a commit A that is the tip of exactly one
branch (and no tag or other ref points to A). If I delete that branch,
is A now

So, in the description above, A^ dangles from A loosely because it
hangs from A (you can reach it from A) but loosely, because it would
drop if A gets dropped and A is likely

I just visualize commits to be ping-pong balls with strings between
them, and then grab the root of the graph and lift the whole thing
up, while tips of the branches and tags are anchored. Commit A will
be dangling in

A dangling object is an unreachable object that cannot be
made reachable by any way other than pointing at it
directly with a ref.
Thanks a lot for the prompt explanation!
