Resurrecting a file?

I am wondering if there is a simply way to ressurect a file which has
been deleted some times ago. Today, I do a darcs changes (if I
remember the file name) or a darcs test (if I don't), find the last
patch where the file existed, then do a darcs clone, copy the file to
my working copy and darcs add + darcs record.

It works but it creates a new file, losing the previous history. Is
there a better way?
