Memo on how to restore deleted files from git commit logs.

1. Get the hash of the commit that deleted the file

% git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- spam.js
53599a4616710108d8fd035cf3c303a036a3c59c

2. Restore the target deleted file

% git checkout 53599a4616710108d8fd035cf3c303a036a3c59c^ -- spam.js

The restored file is stored in the staging area.

3. Commit the restored file again

The rest is as usual.
