I had to re-install the OS (Windows 7 x64), everything related to the project was on another partition so my projects remained. Among the applications that I needed to install was also git but after I tried to see what is the status of the project (git status) the following exceptions occurred:
error: index file .git/objects/pack/pack-d3325f684a4eca22c0c168d7c63119da147865e 4.idx is too small

This is a first one for me. I was wondering whether somebody else encountered something similar and which was the solution for it.
Thank you!

To rebuild the index of a corrupt indexed file, make sure that the corrupt indexed file is not still open in the Data File Editor. Then, click Data Tools>Fix File Index on the Tools menu.
If you don't have any Git operations running, you can delete the index.
The Git index is a critical data structure in Git. It serves as the “staging area” between the files you have on your filesystem and your commit history. When you run git add , the files from your working directory are hashed and stored as objects in the index, leading them to be “staged changes”.
Have you tried like
In the local repository’s config, and set repack.usedeltabaseoffset to false and then repacked the repository:
git config repack.usedeltabaseoffset false
git repack -a -d
It sounds like the index for your pack file is corrupt. If you're sure that you haven't run out of disk space you can delete the index file and recreate it with:
git index-pack -v .git/objects/pack/pack-d3325f684a4eca22c0c168d7c63119da147865e4.pack
Note that it's extremely rare to have to do something like this so you should treat the errors as a sign of possible file system corruption. You may want to wipe everything and restore from backup.
