For some time I am using git svn to manage a local copy of a remote svn repository.

The svn repository has no branches.

A few days ago I did an git svn rebase

The rebase took a while and after it completed reported fatal: bad object HEAD

git status reports root@hp-dhlii:/usr/src/pico/git# git status # Not currently on any branch. fatal: bad object HEAD

and git fsck reports root@hp-dhlii:/usr/src/pico/git# git fsck dangling blob eb3afb4aa3aaf0003bac601a5db4fd76aafa2a87 dangling commit 5c496db25007c17c325f294bb8324097c9bc407d

How can I recover without downloading the entire repository again which could take days?
