Sadly, this doesnt help. I still get the same error.
But, if I remove the corrupt index file, I get this:

fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?

Yea, so that sounds like "git log" doesn't work because HEAD isn't
pointing at a valid branch.

Does not look like a good sign :/
Are all my branches (branch==tree?) gone? (okay, werent that much)

Yes, a branch contains a series of trees.  The current tree of a
branch is the tree of the most recent commit on that branch.

They may be gone.
