Dear diary, on Fri, Mar 31, 2006 at 11:32:16PM CEST, I got a letter
where David Ho <davidkwho@gmail.com> said that...

Note that it might be more convenient to just say "restore the file to
the contents as of commit X" - in pure Git this would involve dances
with git-ls-tree and git-cat-file, I'm not sure if the core Git
porcelain has an interface for doing this easily.

In Cogito, you can just do:

	cg-restore -f -r commitid filename

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
