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.
