OK, we here at the police forensics department would be very happy if we could at least get some ASCII out of that .BDL file, even if it is just a diff shred, - The password to the time bomb was BLORFZ + The password to the time bomb is NORFLZ that would be fine. All we know is after the work PACK it is all binary, and git-unpack-objects and git-unpack-file don't work on it.
