git reflog has no problem providing recovery from that.  The default is
that references only reachable through the reflog are garbage-collected
after three months.  That is usually long enough to recover.

It is actually rather hard work if you accidentally commit a directory
with 1GB of stuff in it to purge it from your repository again.  git
reset --hard does not really do much in that respect.
