Packages in a git repo are easy to restore if they've been removed.  The
script below should bring back any deleted package instantly.

#!/bin/sh -e

usage()

    printf "Usage: $0 directory-name\n"
    exit 1

cwd=$(pwd)
if [ $(basename $cwd) != "wip" ]; then
    printf 'Must be run from the wip directory.\n'
    exit 1

if [ $# != 1 ]; then
    usage
fi
dir=$1

last_rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- $dir)
git checkout ${last_rev}^ -- $dir
