Hi,
>From git-ls-remote:

I am able to query for list of remote heads, and tags. I would like to know if it is possible to query for information on remote files, or blobs? Sometimes, I am on a slow Internet connection, and I just want to be able to see the remote file diffs, or new file, branch additions, or changes without having to clone the repository.

Appreciate any inputs on this regard,
Thanks!
SK
