Re: Restoring files from old commits

also sprach Nikodemus Siivola [off-list ref] [2007.07.14.1409 +0200]:

What is the recommended way to restore individual files
(or directories) in the working tree to the content they
had in a given commit?

As per my comment on IRC, I think

  git checkout <tree-ish> <path>

is the way.
