If I have a renamed file which is a git object, such a "Git_Object", was
8c-something-or-other, what is the easiest way of examining / decoding /
recreating the original file (either as its sha1, or a cat-file).

I don't appear to be able to unzip the file in its raw format...  I'm using
Msysgit on windows XP.
