Subject: [PATCH 2/5] documentation: add brief mention of cat-file to tutorial part I

From: [email-masked]
Date: Mon, 29 May 2006 19:31:33 -0400

From: J. Bruce Fields <[email-masked]>

I'd rather avoid git cat-file so early on, but the

	git-cat-file -p old-commit:/path/to/file

trick is too useful....

Also fix a nearby typo while we're at it.
