I don't know whether there is a single git command to do it, but you can copy those 5 objects "by hand": in your backup, you should have a directory .git/objects, where you have the files b7/1eb55f2dbc97dafd4a769fc61f346e69a5e0af 28/2035f3ae964e1e288f352c370be8edd11d3078 3c/20f556eecc476e3542cc522d46a62a4461fec6 f3/21b578edeb452358497e832815d6cae6b36886 6d/23f5084c975be637f7d748db82116bf84d3872 It should be sufficient to just copy those files into the corrupted repo. However if you packed the git-files in the backup (e.g. by running "git gc"), those objects might be found in a pack in .git/objects/pack. The easiest ist probably to use git-unpack-objects to unpack the objects, and then copy the 5 missing objects.
