Narrative:

At FL370 we got an ECAM for green hydraulic overheat. Captain took aircraft; and first officer worked ECAM. Green hydraulic pump had to be shut down per flight manual; disabling green system as long as overheat remained. Decision is made to divert. System is in overheat for approximately 35 minutes and not recoverable; so prep is made for manual gear extension and brake and steering limitations. When established on extended final; system cools down enough to be usable; so crew reactivates green pump; gear and remaining flaps are extended normally; and captain executes safe landing. Equipment standing by confirms no signs of smoke; fire; or leaks; and aircraft able to taxi in to a gate. Support of ATC; company; and emergency equipment is all optimal.
