Copy (resursively) the whole project directory to some other place, right now. This is not to inflict more harm than already done. Git won't delete anything irreversibly, but "drastic" operations like the one you supposedly did leave some objects as "unreachable" (in Git's parlance, they are now "dangling"). They will be there until a garbage collection is run on the repository, which is usually an automated operation, so, again, stop doing anything there and copy over the whole project directory. 2. Here, we discuss Git, not GitExtensions, so, for instance, I have no idea what this operation really does (a fun thing is that I recommend newcomers this front end as I was pleased by it when I evaluated various GUI front-ends to Git, but I don't use any of them myself). So the next step is to go to the support list of that project and ask for help there. Ask them to explain what has happened *in Git's terms* and if there a way to recover using their tool -- specifically ask if operations on "the reflog" are supported because the reflog is a special place where each "drastic" movements of branches' heads are recorded so changes are very high you still have a reference to the now lost tip commit of the affected branch. If they won't help, return there and we'll discuss how to use reflog using no more than plain Git tools. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
