Hi,

 This seemingly simple operation has me stumped.  I removed something
 from my try using "git rm" and now I want it back.  With SVN I would
 use "svn cat <path> > <path>".  After some searching around, I
 though git-cat-file would do the trick.  Alas, it appears as though
 it looks up the SHA for the path in the index and so it too fails.

Try
  git checkout HEAD eg
or
  git show HEAD:<path> > <path>
