Make a backup copy of that .git directory, so that whatever you do you
won't lose that work ;). Also, the reason you can't merge or rebase
that hash is because it's the hash of a tree or a blob, not a commit.
You can use git commit-tree [0] to create a commit from your lost
tree, but that works only if you have a tree (for just a blob you can
use git cat-file [1])
