I already completed a microproject, Move ~/.git-credential-cache/socket to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/credential/socket a week and a half ago or so. I am interested in 2 different projects and would like some advice on them, to help me decide which one to submit a proposal for. 1. `git rebase -i` conversion. I was initially the most interested in this project but realize that after having a very busy week last week that Ivan Tham started [discussion][1] about this project. Would it be appropriate to submit a proposal for a project that someone else also wants to work on? 2. formatting tool improvements. There are four different git commands mentioned [here][2] as possible tools to improve as can be seen in the email. Of those I think it would make the most sense to extend `git name-rev`. It seems best suited to the desired behavior. It would need to be extended to understand rev's that refer to objects rather than just a commit-ish and also add formatting support similar to the information that log and for-each-ref can output. Since this doesn't seem like much work, would it be feasible to generalize and somewhat standardize all of the formatting commands?
