I don't know if you're new to git, but I used git for about a year before I knew what the index really was. Remember, the index file only stores changes you made to the checkedout code AFTER the last commit, so all your commits are safely in the tree objects still. The index is only a place to store changes you made with "git add", not "git commit". I'm not sure how you refresh the index file but i would back everything up and try a "git reset --hard" or something.
