OK, so far so good. It still exists in the repository and can be

Whoa. You have missed telling us about a whole load of steps. You
restored it to your working copy first (how?) then you try to restore
it to your working copy by using the revert changes in the log dialog?
Why are you trying to restore it twice?
The easy way:
Get rid of any previous attempts to restore it locally (revert parent
directory changes, delete the local copy).
Show log for the parent directory.
Select the revision where the file was deleted.
Right click in top pane and 'Revert changes from this revision'.
This will Add the file back into your working copy, retaining its
previous history.
