Dump the repository, move away the original and load the dump in a fresh
repo. Hopefully that should fix the problems.

Then you might want to check what's different between the broken repo and
the fresh one.

That 'H:' drive letter makes me suspect that you're storing the repo on a
network drive. I would rather do version control with pencil and paper than
keep a repo on a network drive. If that's actually what you're doing, set
up a server instead.
