Hi all,

This is a newbie question.

I recently wanted to "cherry" pick a particular file from my git-managed project history. Using gitk, I identified which was the revision I wanted (95ba0c74e03874e8c1721b91f92f161e9061621f), and then using git ls-tree, I managed to get the id of the file I wanted (78132af26431e649a0f85f22dc27e5787d80700f).

Now, what I simply wanted was to do something like:

"get the file corresponding to 78132af26431e649a0f85f22dc27e5787d80700f and save it as myfile.txt"

How would one properly do that with core git ?
