Another alternative: Thomas Rast wrote a handy script called 'git-resurrect' which does this for you. It's carried in the contrib/ section right now. I used it just the other day to pull out the lt/approxidate topic branch, which I then built some follow-up patches for. Usage is something like: # contrib scripts aren't installed by "make install", # so put it somewhere in your PATH $ cp contrib/git-resurrect.sh ~/bin/git-resurrect $ git resurrect -m lt/approxidate ** Candidates for lt/approxidate ** 931e8e2 [22 hours ago] fix approxidate parsing of relative months and years ** Restoring lt/approxidate to 931e8e2 fix approxidate parsing of relative months and years -Peff
