I've tried using Recuva, Undelete Plus, and some other tools. But it seems these tools are unable to find the content stored in .hg or .git folder, I can only recover .hgignore or .gitignore files. Does this have anything to do with NTFS? Is there any way to recover these files? Please advise, thanks.

Usually you can only recover files, not folders, due to the differences in how they are stored. For git, search for files with filenames like 97e976b99de7a2e22e83ba619a019571ce913a or pack-75910f9afc31862111442119c47ca55b9ec9769d.pack, those contain the actual data. – grawity Jun 28 '11 at 9:33
