I'm not sure if this is what you wanted, but I found a test case for for
Pharo 7, a deleted class "MultiByteFileStreamTest.class.st"
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/1031/files#diff-750a25fb99d29cda8c2c388dc18f6c1cL1

no result

MultiByteFileStreamTest.class.st

Then I compared the file I checked out to the raw file on github and they
were identical...

btw, I did get a momentary error "error: pathspec 'src/Deprecated70/
MultiByteFileStreamTest.class.st' did not match any file(s) known to git."
when I incorrectly did...
> cd pharo\src\Deprecated70
> git  git checkout e74308e67d9f84  src/Deprecated70/
MultiByteFileStreamTest.class.st


This worked with the longer path...
> cd pharo
> git  git checkout e74308e67d9f84  src/Deprecated70/
MultiByteFileStreamTest.class.st
