Use the git index file parser <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gin> (python3).

pip3 install gin
gin ~/git-repo/.git/index

Recover name and sha1 hash of every file listed in the index, and use the same process above to recover the file.

$ gin .git/index | egrep -e "name|sha1"
name = AWS Amazon Bucket S3/README.md
sha1 = 862a3e58d138d6809405aa062249487bee074b98

name = CRLF injection/README.md
sha1 = d7ef4d77741c38b6d3806e0c6a57bf1090eec141
