Seems like there ought to be an easier way...but not that I could find in less time than it took to write this command.

Hi, I didn't get that command to work on my mac, but there's an easier way:
git log -1 --pretty=format:%H

Markus - odd that didn't work for you. I heard the same from someone else commenting on the gist at https://gist.github.com/374977
I've been using it in a script that runs on Linux and OS X for months and just tried it again and it works fine...
However, I think your way wins. That looks like the way it was meant to be done.
rev-parse offers yet another, even simpler way:
git rev-parse $branch
This is the simplest use of rev-parse.
