Hmm. Scary. That should *not* have been successful with a corrupt repo.

Unless you have done a .grafts file to hide the corruption, or something 
like that?

Have you saved away the original corrupt repo (the whole .git directory as 
a tar-ball, for example)? And is the data public and non-embarrassing 
enough so that you could make it available for some post-corruption 
analysis? Even if we cannot help recover it, real-life corruption is 
always interesting to see if only as a test-case to make sure that git 
notices it as quickly as possible.
