Doesn't Git make this rather easy, though?

e.g. you can find all deleted files with: git log --diff-filter=D --summary and find a specific file with (showing glob patterns): git log --all --full-history -- **/thefile.* and then show it: git show -- or restore it: git checkout ^ -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7203515/git-how-to-search-for-a-deleted-file-in-the-project-commit-history

Thank you Ryan. I didn't know this.

But the first command produces much noise. It includes reverted changes that added new files (they could be reapplied again), files Misc/NEWS.d/next/ which were merged into Misc/NEWS, and full content of deleted directories. If the list of deleted files be supported manually, it would contain only the root of deleted directories, and wouldn't contain files which were not released.
