I ran into this exact problem on Friday.  Some helpful person on IRC
suggested using

git fsck | grep commit | cut -d' ' -f3 | while read hash; do git
rev-parse --verify --quiet $hash^2 && echo $hash; done | xargs git
show

Which will show a huge list of lost changes.  Once you find the change
you're interested in, you can cherry-pick its sha1.
