That's the wrong description.

fsck always shows missing objects, but "--unreachable" makes it also show
objects that cannot be reached from any of the references (either passed
in on the command line, or the implicit references we take if no explicit
reference is given).

So in many ways, "--unreachable" is about the _reverse_ of showing missing 
objects: it's about showing _extraneous_ objects that aren't needed by the 
ref that was passed in.
