I'd probably use an API provided by the hosting service in this case, as
Christian recommended, since it will be the most efficient route. But
just for the sake of completeness, if you wanted to limit yourself only
to Git commands, you could make a partial shallow clone of a single
branch like this:
git clone --bare --depth 1 --filter=tree:0 \
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis.git
cd spice-nsis.git
git log -1 --format=%s
That should fetch only a single object. You only get the HEAD branch
because --depth implies --single-branch. You can use "clone -b" to get a
different branch if you want.
