I've used Linux for about more than one year and know basic bash skills. I've downloaded the source of Git and read some test scripts in the t directory. But I get confused. As said in the gitwiki page, I'm new to Git and Open Source Development. I just know the basic usage and cannot figure out how one component interacts with each other in a few days. It's hard for me to write a decent plan on how to impove existing test scripts and on writing a new one. So is there any infomation getting a birdview of architecture of Git and its test suite? Or the only way is to read the code? By the way, are there many experienced guys applying for this project? Thanks very much! -- pptux
