Reflogs should let you recover from this.

receive.denyNonFastForwards
        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which
        is not a fast forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a
        push, even if that push is forced. This configuration variable
        is set when initializing a shared repository.
