It is done, but not ready. This means, we, my mentors and I, are currently still reviewing the code. But I am pinched for time until the end of September due to an important exam. My mentors also have not much time and so everything is a little slowed down. When they ACK, it will be sent to the list. > Please write also what wasn't done, or what should be done different > way (hindsight and all that). During the GSoC application phase I have done a breakdown and I declared two items as "bonus" if I am really quick with the rest. But I wasn't that quick, so none of the bonus items have even begun. Those were: 6. [bonus] rewrite the users in C 7. [bonus] discuss (with git development team and/or mentor) sequencer features needed for gitk and implement them Now I think (7) is even more needed/interesting, e.g. to be able to do interactive rebasing with gitk. And (6) shouldn't be that hard, but it will be even more interesting when sequencer is libified. I have some ideas for that, but I think, this is not so important in near time. Perhaps, there are other parts that need some libification first. :) > Students, could you please tell us if you plan to work on git further, Yes! But due to my current lack of time I have ignored some topics on the list that I am interested in. :-( > and in what range (how much time can you get to work on git). This is fluctating. > What do you think about git development community? Strange people. Lunatics. Geeks. :-) > What have you learned from participating in GSoC? In the beginning: portable shell is a mess. ;) Well, I guess I have learned a lot more... Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Beyer , PGP 0x6EDDD207FCC5040F
