What
Checking a repository now reports a specific reason when its git directory looks tampered with, rather than only catching one narrow case, so more forms of redirected or borrowed git state are caught.
Details
Reasons reported include an old-format git directory, a redirected common directory, reftable storage, borrowed objects, a suspicious git directory and too many include directives.
Object-store stamps are recorded as part of the check.
Evidence
misplaced: "borrowed_objects"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
