> does exist some way to check remote git repository for updates without downloading any essential files? Well, actually, I think, that I've found one of possible soulution already: First, check remote repo: $ git ls-remote /path/to/git/repo <some sha1-hash> HEAD ... Then check local repo: $ cat .git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/master $ cat .git/refs/heads/master <other sha1-hash> So, if both hashes identical, then current working tree with HEAD, which points to "master", already up-to-dated, but if they don't, then there is some updates at remote repo. -- 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
