Is there a way to use wildcards with git checkout?

None of the other answers worked for me, but bambams comment worked. I made it into a bash function that accepts two args. Usage:

gitcheckout myBranch '*file*'

gitcheckout()
{
    GIT_DIR=$(git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null); 
    pushd .;
    cd $GIT_DIR/../;
    git diff --name-only $1 -- $2 | xargs git checkout $1 --;
    popd;
}
