magit-find-file allows you to open a file at a certain revision, which could be a (relative) timestamp. Notation: HEAD@{3 days ago}.

Using these bits, I wrote a small #emacs command that displays a file at a certain moment, chosen with the built-in calendar.

(defun bram85-magit-find-file-as-of (datetime)  
 (interactive (list (org-read-date)))  
 (let ((rev (format "HEAD@{%s}" datetime)))  
 (magit-find-file rev (magit-read-file-from-rev rev "File: "))))  

#magit #git
