Description

When setting up mirrors, the explore page displays the "Updated" field as the last time the repo was polled for an update. It would be better if it showed the last time it was polled when at least one new change was pulled in from the upstream git repo. Otherwise, all of the projects show as updated every X hours.

Alternatively, as I am now using the mirror sync API, having the ability to disable polling all together would also meet my needs.

How do you determine which branch has the latest commit from mirror repository?

[hochhaus]

I would iterate over all of the branches looking for new changes. Does this answer your question?

git for-each-ref --count 1 --sort=-committerdate --format='%(committerdate:iso8601)'

Good find.
