Hi, I don't know a way to do this in a single call but you can eliminate a few uses of grep: HEADREF=`git ls-remote https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/openstack/ceilometer.git HEAD | awk '{print $1}'` git ls-remote --heads https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/openstack/ceilometer.git | grep ${HEADREF} | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's#refs/heads/##' -- Etienne Millon
