batch swap file recovery

I lost some work in a git repo (it was deleted - I've recovered a
point in time - but vim has newer data). So, is there a way to give
vim a list of files and try to recover the newest version in the swap
file and close? I know, it may give old data, but this should be
pretty easy to pick out in git (based on additions/subtractions)?

something like:
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -i{} vim ..... {}

?
