git doesn't work inside olbase image

[cdrini]

Try running git status inside the plain olbase image, and it errors. This is a problem when we need to do things with that image where we don't have the volume mounts (eg prod).

Steps to Reproduce

docker run --rm openlibrary/olbase:latest git status

• Actual: fatal: bad object HEAD
• Expected: Normal git status

I see the following double fatal error when docker logs -follow --tail=500 openlibrary_cron-jobs_1 on ol-home0:

git fsck shows lots of blobs missing. Could we be doing something clever to preserve space when we distribute the git repo to our various containers? Running git fsck --lost-found within the container does not fix the issue. I'm not sure, but perhaps the solution is how we're creating the image. Do we have docker layer caching that might interfere?
