In fact, I've been thinking about MacGyver'ing Git a little.. I'd like a tool that can verify a Git repository, by which I mean go through all the objects in the repo and make sure they still match their SHA1 hashes.

I think you want git fsck --full? If there are corrupted objects it will display something like this:

$ git fsck --full fatal: object 004c3f812a836736c0faf9c1763d9a9fdb8f7c9c is corrupted

Hope this helps,
