The simplicity of Git is awesome. Great article! I had looked at what it would take to find a single file in a remote git repo. I decided against talking the git protocol directly and just checking out the entire repo to get a single file. Reading through this makes me think I may have given up too easily.

I asked a few git hosting providers, and they all said they had private APIs developed internally for the purpose.
