How do I script git in such a way that hooks are bypassed?

Question

I am looking for an elegant way to checkout a file from a particular committish, without causing the checkout hooks to fire.

Eg, I do not want:

git checkout foo/bar/baz.txt

to result in the post-checkout hook firing.

Answer 1

git reset <commitid> foo/bar/baz.txt
git checkout-index -f foo/bar/baz.txt

Answer 2

git show HEAD:foo/bar/baz.txt | sed -e 'some funky stuff to correct line endings' > foo/bar/baz.txt
