https://git-scm.com/docs/git-gui The differences between the master and the local copy were not big enough, so I resorted to re-cloning: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8271263/repair-corrupted-git-repository – I actually followed Niel de Wet’s advice (https://stackoverflow.com/users/297331/niel-de-wet) and “I simply replaced the .git folder in the broken repo with the one I recloned“
