hmm, not sure what the problem is. I found this http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg19550.html on the git mailing list from 2007: it seems there was a problem with certain versions of the cygwin dll, are you perhaps using an affected version? > Using mysysGit instead does work properly, however. ok, that's what i've been using. > Another question: How can I ask the git repository for the current > OpenSG version number without actually downloading the repository, i.e. > I would like to get information along the line of the subversion 'info' > command: > > svn info https://external.lite3d.com/opensg/svn_repo/trunk there is no exact equivalent to this, since there are no version numbers to begin with in a distributed VCS ;) Normally to update your local repository you'd do a 'git pull' which internally does 'git fetch' (fetching changes from the remote repository) and then 'git merge' (merging them into the branch you've checked out locally). So what you can do is to manually run 'git fetch' to only obtain the changes, but not modify your local branch(es). You can then use 'gitk --all' (or just 'git log origin/master') to see the remote changes.
