So when I saw that the problematic files that I was having problems with were the ones I was committing when the machine crashed, we tried having someone else create a small change and commit those changes to the system.

This worked for them. I could then do a pull for their changes and then I could then commit my changes to the files, getting everything back to how it should be.
