How I Recovered from a Corrupt Git Repository

How my Git repository got corrupt in the first place

Ok, so how my Git repository got corrupt was (sort of) entirely my own fault. And why it was a problem was definitely entirely my own fault.

I had two stashes in my repository and decided for no apparent reason to pop the second stash straight after popping the first stash. Git told me there were conflicts in the second pop.
