Checkout previous versions of a file or folder into the working directory

[tkuraku]

Problem description

I recently purchased Sublime Merge. It works really well, but one feature that would be very useful to me is to checkout a previous version of a folder or single file into the working directory.

Preferred solution

Some method of selecting a specific folder or file and checkout into the working directory. The git command would be something like this

git checkout COMMIT -- foo.txt

Would really like to see this feature that comes with SourceTree. I use it a few times a day when fixing bugs/navigating a code base I haven't touched in a while.
