You can also just view the file if you don't want those changes
to be made:

`git show $commit -- $path`

That doesn't work. It says "show me $commit, but limited by $path". So
if $path was changed, you see the commit log and diff. If it wasn't, you
see nothing.

Gah.  Indeed.  I should have suggested to Bill:

`git show $commit:$path`

sorry about the confusion, and thanks for the clarification.  :-)

Ok, looks like that works.  Thanks all.
