I've seen this. Running git gc on Windows, while having Elipse open can
kill your object database.

You had me really scared with the mail subject!

Losing a repo *is* scary., especially if your boss is the one losing it. That should simply not happen unless there is a disk failure. Fortunately
I believe the two lost branches did not contain anything useful.


If you have a backup of the corrupted repository right after it got
corrupted, you can create an index by running "git index-pack" on
the pack that is lacking an index.  This might rescue the lost
branches.
