 From your description is seems that Git proper was able to handle the
situation just fine.   It sounds instead like you're describing a problem
with Stg where it became confused without a way to restore _its_ meta
data.  There's not much Git itself can do to help in this situation
unless Stg stores all of its meta-data as standard Git objects, rather
than just using the .git directory.
