The objects folder is full of dangling objects, but I do not know how to recover them. If you did use 'git add' to stage your work before the unfortunate invocation of rm, the blobs should be accessible. Something like the following might work: git show `cd .git/objects; ls ??/* | tr -d /` This will pretty print all loose objects. -- David Barr. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
