Description

Currently we detect the lastest hash of a github remote file and store it in the lock file. It would be much nicer if we can detect the last hash where a given remote file changed.

Background: many projects reference

github fsharp/FAKE src/app/FakeLib/Globbing/Globbing.fs
github fsharp/FAKE modules/Octokit/Octokit.fsx

whenever we commit to FAKE the hash of these files changes. Even when the files didn't change

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no implementation files or tests; start by tracing Paket's GitHub remote-file handling and lock-file generation for the two example references. Done means the lock file records the latest commit that changed each referenced file, rather than changing for unrelated commits to the repository.
