Hi All,

I am trying to write a script to tell me the latest revision showing on

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis/-/tree/master

which is 'virtio-win: rebase on 0.164", but I can only see this from a web browser, as the page is dynamic.

I do have access to the git link on that page:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis.git

Does git (or some other) have a way of telling me JUST the revision without having to download the turkey?

If I could get something that contained
        virtio-win: rebase on 0.164
I could dig out the revision

Many thanks, -T
