Extracting a single commit or object
How would I extract a single commit from a repository by it's SHA1 (or any other treeish)?
For that matter, how is any one single object extracted? Examples please. Thanks,
YBG

git cat-file $type $sha1
e.g.
git cat-file commit $commitsha1
git cat-file blob $blobsha1
If you need to inspect a tree, ls-tree is probably better:
git ls-tree $commitsha1
git ls-tree $treesha1

Your question is not precise enough to answer. Are you looking for
- the commit message?
- the patch?
- all the files referenced by that commit?
- all the files _and revisions_ referenced by that commit?
The answer depends quite a lot on the question...

The user-friendly way to look at a tree is
git show HEAD:Documentation/
or some such. Likewise, you can inspect single blobs like this:
git show HEAD:README
If you activated bash completion, you can even complete monsters like this:
git show \
v1.5.3:v1.5.3:t/t4013/diff.diff-tree_--cc_--patch-with-stat_--summary_master

Wow, that's really a monster. After removing the first leading v1.5.3:, it works. (If this is a bash completion bug, I can't reproduce.)

Heh, it's just another proof that copy-n-paste ist just error-prone.
