Hi David,

I managed to do a 'rm *' in the .git directory (the usual sort of

the subdirectories are still there.
I'd suggest:
1. Make a backup!
2. From the worktree (i.e. parent to the .git directory),
run "git init".
3. git update-ref HEAD refs/heads/(branch you were on)
I was on the default branch but if I do 'git update-ref HEAD
refs/heads/master' I get an error 'not a valid SHA1'
.git/refs/heads is empty
.git/logs/HEAD looks like it shows all the commits in it properly

4. git reset; # (alas, the old index file is gone)
5. git diff; gitk --all
See gitrepository-layout(7) for details.
