You can dig up the lost commits from the HEAD reflog after that, which
records all movements of HEAD.  See

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-reflog.html

The method you described is usually only applicable if you have truly
unreachable objects, which happens e.g. if you lost some content that
was once staged in the index but never committed.
