Subject: just fetching HEAD of repository
Message-ID: <566574ef0705210201wc5c0adbmaa22d197b16bf72d@mail.gmail.com>

After checking all the docs, I am still wondering if there is a way to
get only the last commit from a given git repository. Sometimes I
really just want the latest code so I can compile it - and let's say
they are not running gitweb, or it is not convenient to go to gitweb
and ask for a tar package to be made? This is especially relevant in
countries with slow internet connection - here in Indonesia it takes
me an hour to clone the git repository for example, never mind let's
say the Linux kernel.

Thank you
Stian
