Thanks everyone!
Progress so far:
After executing reverse sed command:
find .git -name '*.*' -exec sed -i 's/ /\t/g' {} \;
And trying to switch the branch I get:
> git checkout X
error: failed to read object 51a980792f26875d00acb79a19f043420f542cfa
at offset 41433013 from
.git/objects/pack/pack-8d629235ee9fec9c6683d42e3edb21a1b0f6e027.pack
fatal: packed object 51a980792f26875d00acb79a19f043420f542cfa (stored
in .git/objects/pack/pack-
8d629235ee9fec9c6683d42e3edb21a1b0f6e027.pack) is corrupt
So the actual .pack file is corrupt, unfortunately.
