The easiests, most convenient is:

   git show <revision>:path/to/file.c

git show can do various other things -- like show you a commit.

You should really follow a tutorial for git (and/or bazaar) to get
"the basics". Any good tutorial will cover git show (but may not touch
this specific point) and a few others.

It is safe to say that bazaar, git and hg have a good command for
something clear and basic like this. Asking these questions probably
won't help you decide what you want to decide ;-) --
