Description David Carver

At a git command line, if I want to restore a file, from what is stored in the repository, I can do a git checkout filenamepath/filenametocheckout to restore the file to the previous state.

With eGit, I see no such opton, the only option that can close as the History view, but that allowed me to check out a commit id, and not the individual file.

+1 for this request. Would be really useful.

There is Replace with -> File in Git Index on file level.
What is missing is Replace With -> HEAD.

If Replace With -> HEAD was there, would you still want to have "Checkout" in the team menu?

Replace With -> HEAD would be sufficient for me. 

@David?

Yeah, Replace With->Head would work.

Replace With -> HEAD Revision is available in current releases of EGit.
