Hello, git.
I want to get a file's content from a particular revision onto stdout for
backup purposes. I can't see how to do this. Help me, please!
Let's say the file is foo.c, and I want to get the version from the head
revision of bar-branch.
I would like there to be a command something like:
$ git cat bar-branch -- foo.c
.. Is there such a command, and if so, what's it called and how do I use
it? I assumed it might be git cat-file, but I couldn't get it to work,
and couldn't understand it's man page.
Where might I have found this information for myself?
Thanks in advance for the help!
