Long ago, I documented a corruption recovery I did and gave
some C code that I used to help find a flipped bit. I had
to fix a similar case recently, and I ended up writing a few
more tools. I hope nobody ever has to use these, but it
does not hurt to share them, just in case.

In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about
the following points:
- Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
- Spell Linux as Capitalized;
- Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

This is an asciidoc-ified version of a corruption post-mortem sent to
the git list. It complements the existing howto article, since it covers
a case where the object couldn't be easily recreated or copied from
elsewhere.
