Hi.

Want to participate in GSoC 2017 with Git.
Can I choose "Make 'git tag --contains <id>' less chatty" as my microproject?

Thanks.

Feel free to choose any microproject from the list.  A good way to
start is to check whether other students already attempted the same
microproject before starting with it so you don't duplicate any
work. You can check for that in the mailing list archives, available
at [1].

Good luck!

And I meant to say, if nobody started working on the micro-project yet
(and I don't recall anything doing so, but better double check), feel
free to just pick it up.

If somebody was already working on it might be better to try and find
a micro-project that nobody is working on yet, as that is going to
be a better learning experience for you, and allows us to get to know
you better.

Decided to rewrite module_clone to use connect_work_tree_and_git_dir
as my microproject by suggestion of Stefan Bellar.
https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGZ79kY+1E-wg0-uzGJmE+haOE+1WCmg0Eux7rWGtkU_aBDQ9g@mail.gmail.com/

It seems that connect_work_tree_and_git_dir needs to be slightly changed
to deal with submodules. Because path to config file for submodules lies
not directly in .git directory we need to know whether the path is
submodule or not. Can I use submodule_from_path to determine this?
I mean what if NULL result also indicates error sometimes?

Another possible solution is to pass the flag indicating
that path is submodule or not. But I think this solution is bad.
