Fields

commitString

The revision identifier of the commit.

The format depends on the repository type (it may be a number, SHA-1 hash, or some other type). This should be treated as a relatively opaque value, but can be used as the start parameter to the Repository Commits Resource.
defaultBoolean

This will be true for exactly one of the results only. All others will be false.

nameString The name of the branch.
