I don't know why the the dcommit crashed but I'm certain that you can
find your previous commits through the reflog. Try (one of) these
commands:
git log --walk-reflogs [branchname]
git log --walk-reflogs HEAD
They will show a list of commits about where [branchname] or HEAD has
been previously in _your_ repository. If/when you find the correct
commit (where you think the branch's head should be) copy its SHA1 and
create a new branch from it (git branch new-branch [SHA1]) - or just
reset the broken branch to that commit (git reset --hard [SHA1]).
