Hi,

The git crashed during one of the commits by a developer I think, the remote is not even showing the working branch. The local branch of is all right, but the remote repo is corrupted and could not git fsck also. Is restoring the last night's backup is my only option??

$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: git@gitserver:sggroup/sgrid.git
  Push  URL: git@gitserver:sggroup/sgrid.git
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branches:
    SGRID_5_5_0_BRANCH                 tracked
    master                                 tracked
    refs/remotes/origin/4_4_Release_Branch stale (use 'git remote prune' to remo
ve)
  Local branch configured for 'git pull':
    4_4_Release_Branch merges with remote 4_4_Release_Branch

Thanks, ./Siva.
