Restore full history of a compacted issue from git version control.

When an issue is compacted, the git commit hash is saved. This command:

1. Reads the compacted_at_commit from the database
2. Checks out that commit temporarily
3. Reads the full issue from JSONL at that point in history
4. Displays the full issue history (description, events, etc.)
5. Returns to the current git state

## Usage

`bd restore bd-42`

This is **read-only** - it does not modify the database or git state.

Useful for:
- Reviewing old issues after compaction
- Recovering forgotten context
- Audit trails
- Historical research

Requires git repository with issue history.
