Do you have a tarball of this repository? I'd like to do a post-mortem.
I don't actually believe it was trashed, unless the crash of the box
_also_ scribbled on the filesystem, in which case all bets are off.

And a rebase on the _server_ side isn't a use case we're interested in
anyway -- server repositories we only ever push to; never merge or
commit locally. Not that it makes your alleged problem any less serious
in the general case, of course.
