Good question! Actually I have no idea!

It was fine yesterday. I had to leave home so I just shutdown my netbook (I just issued the command and closed the lid). Files were open in my editor but I'm sure that there were no Git processes running at the time. The battery was empty this morning, so my best guess is that the halt operation was somehow failed, but I think it can not explain the corruption.

Any idea?
