If you know the name of the objects you are missing, you can
make a temporary pack to transfer the list of objects:

	# at good repo
	#
	git pack-objects --stdout <object.list >save.pack

	# at bad repo
	#
	git index-pack --stdin <save.pack

Make object.list just one SHA-1 per line.  The resulting pack is
not likely to be highly compressed, as it will probably contain
a non-delta version of each object, but its faster to create than
calling git-cat-file for each object, and may give you a smaller
pack than just copying everything as the FAQ entry recommends.

Note that you may need to do this several times; e.g. if you are
missing a tree you won't know what blobs you are missing until
you load the tree and run fsck --full again to parse the tree and
discover the missing blobs.  This iterative copying approach is
what the FAQ avoids when it suggests you copy everything.
