    Thanks to Tito for his explanations and script, I could realize
that all files were backed-up, though in a mysterious format.

    Looking for recipes on the Internet I discovered I could recover my
sources with the two following commands:

git reflog show
0469be9 (HEAD -> master) HEAD@{0}: rebase (finish): returning to
refs/heads/master
0469be9 (HEAD -> master) HEAD@{1}: pull (start): checkout
0469be97dd79f388a3225aad07971bafd407dd03
7c392d8 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Initial commit of qmount

Then the command

git checkout HEAD@{2}

restored all the files.

I'll try to manage pushing it to devuangit...
