what is this?

described below. do you have more information on what is needed here?

each dangling object is likely a small branch of hidden development work. usually they are mundane, from people fixing mistakes. very occasionally they are attempts to alter the history maliciously. haven't reviewed the content.

I looked at the missing content very briefly. It looks benign to me. I did not look closely and am not familiar with dangling tags to know why they happen (I could look into this).

I'm thinking that a repository without dangling content would look more fake than one with it.

There is a handful of unlabeled / reverted content in this repository that many are unlikely to notice. This content usually results from people amending changes and discarding the draft material.
