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!

-- Thanks! Bryan
