It does not work for directories, though. On can use
$ git ls-tree -r -z <tree-ish> -- <path> | git update-index -z --index-info
$ git ls-tree -r --name-only -z <tree-ish> -- <path> | git checkout-index -f -z --stdin
for a more generic way to do this.
P.S. Martin, would you please stop removing people from address lists
and stop using that Mail-Followup-To? People miss their mails when
they are not addressed to them anymore and you doing exactly that.
