Thanks, I actually just did something similar. Although the -r option to git-ls-tree seems to recurse for me automatically. A few simple switches to automatically iterate over the list of branches and tags and... a simple working generic solution. I am still kinda curious if there isn't a much better way since this may not scale well on large repos? It takes about ~1s on a cached gerrit repo. -Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
