What prompted you to run xfs_repair in the first place?  Do you still
have the specific error?

If everything wound up in lost+found, it's because directory information
was lost, so I'm afraid there is no easy way to "put it all back."

The original error would be most helpful, along with anything you can think
of that could have contributed to the problem...  (Any odd configuration, 
patches, hardware, etc?)
