given the SHA1 of the commit itself, you would:

git show SHA1:path/to/your/file.txt

if you know the sha1 of the blob itself, you can

git cat-file blob SHA1

I'm not sure about RoR, but check to see if the repo object has some methods that would allow you to get the blob contents by a SHA1 reference.. – Adam Dymitruk Nov 21 '11 at 19:59
