-> 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.

And I still get that dreaded pathspec error. This is on OSX (not windows) - so I��m struggling to understand what I could be doing wrong. It must be something obvious - but damned if I can see how I��m doing anything different to you. And it wouldn��t make sense that git is broken on OSX?

I��d be really interested if someone with lower level GIT knowledge might try a:

git checkout <gitid> src/<proj>/<class>.class.st

For their project - as I don��t understand what I��m doing wrong - and I��d like the comfort of knowing that our source is in a place/state where we can rely on normal git tools in a case of emergency. At the moment, I��m a bit nervous that we are corrupting something .

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

From Windows 10 cmd.exe I tried the following (I can't remember which tool installed `git`)...

> mkdir C:\temp\test
> cd C:\temp\test
> git clone git@github.com:pharo-project/pharo.git
> cd pharo\src\Deprecated70
> dir Multi*
no result
> git checkout e74308e67d9f84 MultiByteFileStreamTest.class.st
> dir Multi*
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
