Examples please.\n\nThe user-friendly way to look at a tree is\n\n\tgit show HEAD:Documentation/\n\nor some such. Likewise, you can inspect single blobs like this:\n\n\tgit show HEAD:README\n\nIf you activated bash completion, you can even complete monsters like \nthis:\n\n\tgit show \\\nv1.5.3:v1.5.3:t/t4013/diff.diff-tree_--cc_--patch-with-stat_--summary_master\n\nHth,\nDscho\n"},{"id":"99092","messageId":"20090101180834.GJ21154@genesis.frugalware.org","threadId":"16931","inReplyTo":"alpine.DEB.1.00.0901011747580.30769@pacific.mpi-cbg.de","subject":"Re: Extracting a single commit or object","fromName":"Miklos Vajna","fromEmail":"vmiklos@frugalware.org","sentAt":"2009-01-01T18:08:34Z","receivedAt":"2009-01-01T18:08:34Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"vmiklos@frugalware.org","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/401c1cbbb3a5d13e650c691a2c71d6fd0b80df1a01bc74d9f1972675dd58f2bd?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"On Thu, Jan 01, 2009 at 05:52:49PM +0100, Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n> If you activated bash completion, you can even complete monsters like \n> this:\n> \n> \tgit show \\\n> v1.5.3:v1.5.3:t/t4013/diff.diff-tree_--cc_--patch-with-stat_--summary_master\n\nWow, that's really a monster.
