restoring

[David Garamond]

i'm sorry, let me rephrase.

suppose i backup up project/ five times, on day 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 
respectively. many files had been added, deleted, and changed everyday. 
  now at day 5 things got very messy and i decided to get back to the 
state at day 2.

is there a single command to do it?
