Unreachable from where? How do you know there are unreachable
objects?

Note that the snippet

    git fsck --unreachable HEAD $(git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname)" refs/heads)

only checks for objects unreachable from branches (by definition,
stuff under refs/heads). However, there's also other stuff under refs/:
tags and hidden branches. Especially the postprocess.sh script hides
some branches.

To see all that is there, check the output from

    git for-each-ref
