I ran git fsck --full and removed all objects that were corupted, but nothing seemed to work.
I've recloned the repository in a different folder and did the following:
$ cd ..
$ git clone someremote newsrc
$ cd src
$ mv .git /tmp/bad-git
$ mv ../newsrc/.git .
$ rm -rf ../newsrc
Explaination: I've used the .git folder of a valid git repository. The changes of the files that were not commited were not lost, they appeared as changed. And then I added them and created a commit.
Drawbacks:
- you will lose all local branches, when you use the .git folder
- you will lose all local commits that were on your current branch and were not pushed on the remote. The changes will remain, they will apear as changes that were not added to a commit.
