Say someone has given me a url to a git-web view of a commit: <http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c1a54638653ef81187309624940bfa1537aa0fab> I managed to mangle this around to a repo name that I can clone from, so I try: % git clone git://linux-arm.org/linux-2.6.git play Now, from within my new directory, I try looking at this commit: % git show c1a54638653ef81187309624940bfa1537aa0fab fatal: bad object c1a54638653ef81187309624940bfa1537aa0fab Ok, so they repo appears to have an object that none of their refs can find, so I didn't pull it over with the clone. Looking at the patch, I was able to find other commits with the same content, so I suspect they were doing some rebasing on their repo, after sending someone a commit ID via email. The question I have: is there any way I can look at this particular commit ID on the remote repo? I couldn't come up with any way to get git fetch to retrieve it.
