It's two calls, but the second one specifically designed to get the latest commit ID. A possible downside is that if the repository is shared in some way (say, it's on a networked share) then there's a possible race between these adjacent calls to the git binary -- another developer is able to update the HEAD (or a branch it points to) in the meantime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
