Try in the directory
git checkout 72164060176afd82227b03e05aede0ce292f093f .
or even
git checkout 72164060176afd82227b03e05aede0ce292f093f <specific file>

The last argument can be any path to file or directory in the repository.

Unfortunately this also stages the checked-out files for commit, so
you probably want also to
git reset HEAD .
or
git reset HEAD <specific file>

Best wishes.
