Complete the Git commands: Git Repository Integrity: Verify with git fsck

Create a disposable repository with two normal commits and a tag. Run `git fsck`, `--full`, `--connectivity-only`, `--root`, `--tags`, and `--name-objects`, and explain what each adds or changes. Then create a third commit on a temporary branch, delete that branch, and compare `git fsck --unreachable` with `git fsck --unreachable --no-reflogs`. Identify the orphaned commit and explain why its supporting tree/blob objects may also appear. Finally, run `git fsck --full --strict --no-dangling` and record the clean result. Do not delete or rewrite any objects as part of the exercise.
