Hi, I'd like to get information from a remote git repository. Example: git branch -v If the remote repository were remotehost:/a/long/path/repo.git m then I could type ssh remotehost "cd a/long/path/repo.git ; git branch -v" If the remote repository were file://a/long/path/repo.git , then I had to type ( cd /a/long/path/repo.git ; git branch -v ) I could write a script, which parses the repository name and executes then the correct command. I just wondered, whether git has already some bult in tricks, which would help me avoiding to implement my own potentially faulty script. I'm interested in executing 'read only' commands like git branch git log thanks in advance for any suggestions -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
