provide that you do have a .git directory in there

then rm -fr * (will delete everything but .git /.gitignore and othe .* files)
then
git checkout newest  (assuming that the repo has a 'newest' tag)
should bring you back in a 'sane state'
then again maybe you are in the middle of a bisection.. then git
bisect --reset may help
it is a bit hard to fix thing 'blind'.. but assuredly it is fixable...
it is just a matter of understanding in what state your tree is
