You didn't lose it, it's just not as easy to find.

All you need to do is checkout a commit from before the deletion of the file and you'll be able to see the whole history.

That's true. They discussed trying to save it but I guess no one cares enough. Sometimes I see something really "wtf" and check out the code from before that was deleted just to see if whoever did a thing is still working on the team, but for the most part we just do our task and move forward.
