When did you last test this? I think exactly this behaviour has greatly
improved in one of the last releases (either 1.0 or 0.12.x). At least I
saw some posts on the egit mailing list indicating that.

How can that happen? I mean, every dev should have a complete repository
locally. If one push corrupts the server just get one of the devs repos
and use that... Better than nothing. Anyway, some sort of backup should
be done as well (which is not that hard, since the repos are
self-contained). Anyway, this shouldn't be egits fault, but jgit, the
Java git implementation. Maybe you can share some more details how the
repo got corrupted.

committers in person, just a happy user
