I just discovered the equivalent of the "svn cat" command which is, for example:
git show 924b06ccffee1f:./examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo.cpp >| \ examples/c++/deprecated_wxPLplotDemo.cpp That command copies examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo.cpp as of commit id 924b06ccffee1f to examples/c++/deprecated_wxPLplotDemo.cpp. I am using this command and others like it to create deprecated forms of all the wxwidgets files as part of my current mini-project which is to implement an OLD_WXWIDGETS=ON cmake option which will provide the user the alternative of using wxwidgets as it was at 924b06ccffee1f (i.e., before all the new wxwidgets stuff was committed by Phil). My plan is to provide that wxwidgets alternative for those users who are having trouble with the new wxwidgets for this release. Later on, once the current new wxwidgets bugs are straightened out, I plan to change the name of that option to DEPRECATED_WXWIDGETS as a reminder to the user they should not be using this, and the final goal would be to completely remove the DEPRECATED_WXWIDGETS option and the associated deprecated_* wxwidgets files altogether.
