No arguments; that's a different question. I'm _not_ saying that you should . I'm saying that often _I_ am curious about the log _in_ _some_ _remote_ _tree_. Preferably - without fetch + git log + rm .git/refs/tmp + git prune, which is how I do that now. git prune is quite slow, for one thing... It's not about kernel or getting stuff merged; the question is about git and cheaper way to do the thing I often find useful. IOW, read that as "BTW, is there a way to get such information out of git without too much PITA?"
