Hello all,

Can anyone tell me how to revert a particular file using git?  I
executed a commit, then froze my Rails application to the latest Rails
version.  This caused my custom config/boot.rb file to be overwritten
and I would like to restore it without rolling back to the previous
commit (which would roll back the rails freeze).  In general I need to
know how to do this anyway. :)

Please help!
