You don't need the sha1 of the blob object, just the revision and the filename, and then you can reference the blob using the <tree-ish>:<path> syntax. For example: git cat-file blob HEAD^^^:some/file.c or less plumb-ish: git show HEAD^^^:some/file.c I've been told that neither cares about the CRLF conversion, and I don't know if there's anything except "git checkout" that actually does care about it. With checkout, you would do: git checkout HEAD^^^ -- some/file.c But that replaces the current version of that file in your working tree and index with the version from the HEAD^^^ revision, so that might not be exactly what you were looking for.
