Hi,
while git is pleasant to use in everyday work, there is one svn feature

which is miss dearly, namely "svn info". svn info can give information

about specific file objects, but I think its main feature is to use it

without any path and thus just describe the current project.

I use this a lot to quickly find out to which remote repository the

current directory belongs (yes, some work projects tend to look very

similar...) and what is the current state of the directory.
As a crude approximation, "git info" should print something like:

cat .git/config | grep url

git show | head -3
Probably not the most intelligent way to compute it, but you get the

idea. git info should give a brief overview over the current working

directory.

If there is consensus that this is a useful feature I can try to suggest

a patch (although honestly I would prefer that someone else does it, I

am not familiar with the git internals).

hm, this is not what I am after. I do not want to inspect the history, I

want to see where this repository "belongs" to. Gitk shows me the name

(which is reasonable, of course), but not the URL. And it is a GUI

probably "current working directory" was not the best way to phrase it.

I mean state of the repository, which in my case is a clone of a central

repository.

My commands show (ignoring formatting): 1. the remote repositories with

URL 2. the current head commit hash 3. the date of the head commit.

perhaps, the first command gives me an error (git 1.5.2.5). This here is

nearly ok
git remote && git log --max-count=1 --pretty=format:'%H %cD'
except the missing URL from git remote (but perhaps your options include

this is has side effects, and is quite slow. Your command sequence above

  is more handy (and faster).
So I can emulate git info with an alias, and this is good enough for mew

now, thanks for the hints. Perhaps a somewhat more elaborate version of

git info might be useful for others, too, but this is not urgent.

...which in Git-lingo would be misunderstood as the output of
Ach, make it "git remote -v". It does exactly showing of the url.
Dunno what I wanted the "-r" for. Probably left from thinking of
It is there since 1.5.3-rc1
