### Please describe the problem.
Somewhere on the forums you advised that in order to revert to an old
version of a file in a direct-mode annex, one should briefly switch to
indirect mode and check out an earlier revision.
This won’t work though if the direct-mode repo is on a VFAT
file-system, which does not support indirect mode.
If I didn’t overlook an alternative way, would it make sense to expose
this functionality in «git annex get $file»? Like «git annex get $file
--from $repo/$revision»?
Specifying revisions to get from might also be convenient for
alternative use-cases, I suppose.
Best regards,
T.
