Can't find a way to checkout a single file #102

Sometimes I want to do a checkout on a single file, i.e., to discard
workspace changes and revert to last commit. Can't seem to find that in the
UI (hopefully not just because I'm a Git newbie ... I want the equivalent
of svn revert for a single file).

The workaround I use is to select everything (Ctrl-A) and the right-click in the
quickdiff bar and select Revert Selection. The replaces the version with 
content of
the quickdiff baseline, which by default is HEAD.

It should be simply added to the Git Staging view, along with the already 
existing "Replace with File in Git Index". The staging view/repo view offer no 
access to a lot of functionality that is available in the navigator. There it 
would be easy to pick the right file, make a comparison (that should be also in 
the context menu), and reset, checkout, etc...
