Can I restore deleted files (undo a `git clean -fdx`)?

git, git-clean

Solution

No. Those files are gone.

(Just checked on Linux: git clean calls `unlink()`, and does not backup up anything beforehand.)

Problem

I was following the instructions on making github pages, and forgot to move down into my git sub directory. As a result, I just nuked an entire directory of documents with `git clean -fdx`. Is there any way I can undo this terrible mistake?
