Git screwup with reset

Hi All,

I really screwed up. I had about 2 weeks worth of code I was working on that got reset right out before commit.

Here's what happened.

1. I coded for 2 weeks and didnt commit or add anything (yes, i know, real stupid)
2.  I was attempting to commit today and added the files.
3. I realized a couple of files were added that i didnt want and werent being matched to the gitignore because i spelled them wrong. I fixed the gitignore file but the files still showed up, Im guessing because i used "git add ." before. 4. Then i ran git reset --hard because i just wanted to undo the add. Clearly this was where everything fell apart.
5.  I lost 2 weeks worth of code.

That's basically how it happened.


When I run git fsck --lost-found i get a whole bunch of dangling objects. If I run git show on those objects it shows me the code that was lost. Anyone know of a way to get this stuff back. I tried rebasing and merging and neither worked.




Thanks in advance,
