Uh, oh. That I don't know how to fix. Was Photoshop in the middle of saving when the power went out? Unless there's a backup of the PSD file, I'm not sure what can be done. 😞

I've seen a couple solutions to this error before. One of them is opening the PSD in Illustrator, then saving it back as a PSD, making sure to check the option to "Preserve Layers." Another is using a PSD recovery tool. Here's one recommended in another forum post: http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/product/PSDRecover

I've never used it so I can't offer any advice or even a recommendation that it works, but some people seemed to have success with it. I would try the Illustrator method first.

I may be able to fix that if you send me a download link for a zip file containing the Ch Data/repo.noindex subfolder of the project. That particular message is usually a rather mild sort of damage.

If you write 9472c3e561183772fada757f02b2dc233c9e6d71 into the file "Ch Data/repo.noindex/refs/heads/master" the project should open again. This forum is being annoying and not letting me post the file with any regular extensions.

Here's a link if you'd prefer a file to drop in vs editing the existing one:

What happens if you create a new project and drag this .chproj into it?
