Yes I know, but it's not trivial. First you 'git log <filename>' (where 
filename is relative to the current directory) until you find what you 
think is the commit you want. Then since you've forgotten the command, 
you google for it. Then you run "git show <commit>:<filename>" (where, 
this time, filename is relative to the top of the repo), remembering to 
pipe it into gpg -d to decrypt it.

Whereas what I do is just have a file containing:

<current pwd>
<current-1 pwd>
<current-2 pwd>
...

so that when I'm logging into a system, I have the various generations 
of password there right in front of me.
