Hi,
I have a really simple question: how do I find a last commit for the given directory inside the repository? I want to avoid rebuilding the specific part of the project if there were no changes in it since the last build, so I need to find the sha of the last time the directory was changed.
  Thanks, L.

  git log -1 that/directory
  
  But if you need it in a script, this is preferable:
  
    lastsha1=$(git rev-list -1 HEAD -- "$directory")
  
  -- Hannes
