[...] That is a very good idea, but neither http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2008Projects#GitTorrent nor http://code.google.com/soc/2008/git/appinfo.html?csaid=F544F0DAA82AFDFC tells me that it is more about prototype implementation, or even pre-prototype implementation (testing protocol design), than actually implementing it in the state for it to be ready to use. What I (and I guess also GSoC 2008 admins) would know is how far this research on GitTorrent Protocol went; what milestones were achieved and what were missed... -- Jakub Narebski Poland
