 git fsck --full
 git gc

But

Answer 1

This happened to me on a old simple project without branches. I made a lot of changes and when I was done, I couldn't commit. Nothing above worked so I ended up with:

1. Copied all the code with my latest changes to a Backup-folder.
2. Git clone to download the latest working code along with the working .git folder.
3. Copied my code with latest changes from the backup and replaced the cloned code (not the .git folder).
4. git add and commit works again and I have all my recent changes.
