How about object property or object attribute or object field?

I tried a rebase on the current master , and there were indeed conflicts I will include this part in my v2. > Would you implement both the client and the server side in the same > patch series or do it separately? I am not sure actually... since Eric Ju did everything in one patch series. But personally I feel like doing one series for server side first and another for client side would be a bit more focused. But I am not sure if it would cost more time for everyone involved, like giving feedback and all that? > > My current semester is ending in the first week of April, so I will be > > able to contribute 7-8 hours per day, totalling around 35-40 hrs a week > > on the project. > > Do you have another semester starting after the current one? Actually I made a mistake, its ending in the first week of May. But no, after this semester we have a summer break so ... I will update this part. > Not sure if that would be very useful first. Also that might be better > in a different command than `cat-file`. Alright. I will ask that as a question before my final gsoc proposal submission so that if its approved, I will add it to my tasks in gsoc. > There are other ways to do this, like using: > > git rev-list --objects --all --missing=print Did not know that ... but thats great! I will remove this from the proposal. Thanks for the feedback.
