Hey thanks Ben - this still doesn���t work for me��� good idea to try on the Pharo repo itself.

I have a fork of it, which I catch up periodically - so I tried a similar suggestion to you - went into my directory (underneath the src folder) and typed:

log --diff-filter=D --summary --graph --pretty='format:%cd | %h | %H | %cn%n-> %s%n���

This gave me:

-> fix the last sender of #asIcon https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/22139/fix-the-last-sender-of-asIcon

 delete mode 100644 src/Polymorph-Widgets-Rules/IconShortcutRule.class.st

So then I tried to recover that last one (again at root underneath the src directory)

git checkout b4a285a61 src/Polymorph-Widgets-Rules/IconShortcutRule.class.st

error: pathspec 'src/Polymorph-Widgets-Rules/IconShortcutRule.class.st' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Concrete examples help.   I get the same error

when I try checking that file out from b4a285a61 

Now looking at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/tree/b4a285a61/src/Polymorph-Widgets-Rules/

there is no file  IconShortcutRule.class.st

So from try clicking the <History> button,

and currently at the top you'll see " b4a28" on Jun 14,  

and the next one down is "d4b4464". 

Click the "<>" button to the right of that,

then browse back to .../src/Polymorph-Widgets-Rules

and now you'll see  IconShortcutRule.class.st

So the following works for me...

git checkout d4b4464 src/Polymorph-Widgets-Rules/IconShortcutRule.class.st 

In summary ;), you can't check out a file from a commit that doesn't exist in that commit.

HTH
