I'm looking for a very simple Ant target that will let me set an Ant property to a SHA, given the root of a local clone and a reference (eg "HEAD"). If I could get the concise form of the SHA, rather than the full form, that would be icing on the cake.

Does such a thing already exist as part of JGIt? I definitely don't want to re-invent this wheel, but none of the search results I've seen so far appear to do this.

this snippet should create a string for the shortened SHA for HEAD:

File gitDir = new File("/path/to/repo/.git");
Repository repo = FileRepositoryBuilder.create(gitDir);
ObjectId objectId = repo.resolve("HEAD");
ObjectReader reader = db.newObjectReader();
String sha = null;
try {
sha = reader.abbreviate(objectId).name();
} finally {
reader.release();
}

The reader.abbreviate call will certainly be useful if I have to build an Ant target from scratch. But I'm hoping someone has already created Ant jar that knows how to invoke JGit.

Since there were no responses suggesting that ant tools were already available for use with jgit I wrote my own, stealing a pattern from svntask, (googlecode [project written by Jon Stevens)

Currently it only does one thing I need right now: setting an Ant property to the abbreviated SHA of the current HEAD.

It's a simple matter to add more operations, pretty much anything JGit supports.

If anyone is interested in playing around with this, speak up here, I'll put it on github.

Are you aware of the org.eclipse.jgit.ant bundle [1] which provides a few basic jgit commands as ant tasks ?
So feel free to contribute enhancements for this bundle Wink

I was not aware of jgit.ant, thanks for the pointer. I guess this repo is the answer to my original question.
It doesn't appear have the operation I need but I could certainly add it easily enough.

What's the clone URL for this repository, and what kind of registration do I need to do to be able to push to it?

It's one of the many projects contained in the jgit repository
