Two words: git reflog

Git is extremely reliable in that stuff is never dropped immediately
from Git's object database. By grepping over the object database, I
managed to recover from a git-svn-dcommit of 50 commits that failed
halfway-through and left me with all branches and the checkout broken.
Had I known git-reflog by that time, the recovery would have been a
one-liner.
