I needed the functionality of git-ls-remote (see docs). It allows you to pull down the branches and tags of a remote repo without necessarily having it checked out locally.

So, for example, without even being in a git repo of any kind, I can simply issue this from the command line:

$ git ls-remote https://github.com/schacon/ruby-git.git

I put this in Git::Lib because it made the most sense there I thought, considering you don't necessarily need to be in an instantiated git repo (i.e. Git::Base instance) in order to use it. Also, there are similar commands there like ls_files.

Also, I made the passed location optional, because if you are in a git repo and issue git ls-remote without any arguments, it just calls it using the current repo's tracked remote.

And finally, I made a judgement call on the format of the output. Currently, it looks like this:

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :007 > l = Git::Lib.new
 => #<Git::Lib:0x000001042b0d18 @git_dir=nil, @git_index_file=nil, @git_work_dir=nil, @path=nil, @logger=nil> 
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :008 > l.ls_remote('https://github.com/schacon/ruby-git.git')

Nice work! Was just about to implement this myself.

Thanks! I've been using it in production with JSPkg.com for a few weeks now with great success.

Any chance this will be merged in soon?
It's a great feature and one that I need, but I'd prefer not to have to roll my own gem to make use of it...
