One security principle built into git is that any object that is unreachable from refs/* is not to be exposed to outside world. If the commit is not on any ref, you shouldn't be able to obtain it remotely. So you need to know which branch (or it could be a tag) the commit you want is on, fetch that branch or tag and then check the commit out. -- 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
