#1: exact use case example URL.  (Project which hopefully exists after 4
years.)

#2 Yes, I see ... but backticks .... I think I need to do it slightly
different

backticks("git", "clone", "--quiet", "--bare", "--depth=1", $url,
    $dest);

my $commit_data = backticks("git", "--git-dir=$dest", "log", "-1",
    "--date=format:%Y%m%d", "--format=%h %cd");

chomp($commit_data);
$commit_data =~ /^([0-9a-z]{7}) ([0-9]{8})$/m
    or die("Invalid git response: $commit_data");
return ($1, $2);

Thank

Osamu
