Extract DLL from NuGet if removed

Question

I did a small part of reading on NuGet, and I cannot find what I want. In fact, I hope that it will work like Apache Ivy, where you can simply check your configuration file (without any binaries) and tell NuGet to retrieve all the DLL files, thereby saving you from version DLL versions.

Therefore: is there a command in NuGet to extract and configure all the dependencies mentioned in packages.config ?

Again, the case for this is that I only checked package.config for the source control and not for the actual DLLs, and I need to re-extract everything. (Preferably without fetching packages one by one by name).

This was recently posted in blog posts:

• Built-in functionality for this is included in a future version of NuGet: http://feeds.haacked.com/~r/haacked/~3/x8g_kFzD4eA/feedback-request-for-using-nuget-without-committing-packages.aspx
