This has nothing to do with the fix. And based on what I see, there is not fix except for asking another dev who cloned the repo to re-push the branches. – Vladimir May 19 '15 at 17:29

your repo should contain a log/refs/heads which should contain previous commitish values the ref used. You can always manually revert your mess up via git reset --hard
. Followed by another git push -f, no? – whoisj May 19 '15 at 18:32 -
No, doesn't work with my copy. When you do 'git push -f --mirror' all of the local branches that I haven't explicitly checked out disappear as well. When I did 'git branch -avvv' only the couple of branches that I worked on showed up. I had to ask someone to resubmit all of the branches. Never run this command! :) – Vladimir May 20 '15 at 01:03

This worked for me, if you got the latest refs somewhere: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53662585/6012789 – Sagre Dec 07 '18 at 02:59
