I *think* so.  Here's what I did:

* Direct a browser to https://cgit.freebsd.org/
* Select "src"
* Near the upper-right corner, there is a window for a "search"
  argument; copy/paste the hash there
* Just to the left of that is a selection menu that defaults to "log
  msg".  Select that; change it to "range"
* Select the "search" button.
* The resulting page should show a list of commit messages, the top one
  of which is "newvers.sh: restore reporting branch names".  Select that
  message (click on it).
* The resulting page should show the sommit message and the diff
  (basically, the result from "git show
  ace7209ce04d0e4dc0e84d5e2eb27fc762e67a01")
* The page includes at least 3 links to versions of newvers.sh; at least
  2 of those are the version at
  ace7209ce04d0e4dc0e84d5e2eb27fc762e67a01, and at least one is the prior
  version.  The one just under the "Diffstat" link and the one shown as
  "b/sys/conf/newvers.sh" are at ace7209ce04d0e4dc0e84d5e2eb27fc762e67a01.
  Select one of them.
* The resulting page shows:
  path: root/sys/conf/newvers.sh
  blob: 605e61181decd485fc6ad2bba74f6be99b4920be (plain) (blame) 
  The "(plain)" and "(blame)" are links.  Right-click (button 3) the
  "(plain)" link; select "Save link as" and save the file.
* You now have a copy of the file at
  ace7209ce04d0e4dc0e84d5e2eb27fc762e67a01.

Peace,
