Git "bad sha1 file" error

$ git-fsck

From man git-fsck:

Any corrupt objects you will have to find in backups or other archives
(i.e., you can just remove them and do an rsync with some other site in
the hopes that somebody else has the object you have corrupted).

It's not a simple answer, sadly. But this might help:

Recovering from repository corruption (from the Git's user manual).

Err... tmp_obj_a07724 suspiciously looks like a leftover temporary file :)

What happens if you simply move it away from the .git directory (after a backup of the whole thing)?
