I got as far as these wheezy little bytes, $ ls ??/*|tr -d /|sed q|xargs git cat-file tree|perl -pwe 's/[^\0]+[\0]//'|hd 00000000 ae 83 2f 22 45 89 2d dd e5 22 13 57 46 64 48 b4 |../"E.-..".WFdH.| 00000010 09 77 51 42 |.wQB| before I ran out of tools to crack it. It must be in some standard git gzip format. There should be a command line tool to crack it with provided in the git suite.
Anyways, one day some forensics department will need to crack one of these things, and I want the instructions available.
