git: which remote git branch had the last commit?

I am attempting to figure out which remote branch was most recently updated. Something like 'git show-ref' but in chronological order would be good enough. How do I go about doing this?

Use git for-each-ref, e.g.:

$ git for-each-ref --format='%(committerdate)%09%(refname)' \
  --sort=-committerdate refs/remotes/

How about a little bash scripting?

>> git show-ref | while read sha1 ref; do echo $(git log --pretty=format:%ai -1 $sha1) $ref ; done | sort
