I'm not refering to the last commit-date to the complete repo but to the specific file. while git log -1 --format="%ad" gives the latest commit date you can also use git log -1 --format="%ad" -- /path/to/file to retrieve the last commit date of that specific file. And I was refering to that date that could be used. Though in your described use-case the last repo change *was* the small change and so also on SVN the repo would have the last revision of that last file. And when is a change a large one and when is it a small one… I will try to take that into account.
