Google Summer of Code 2009: GIT

[Saurabh Gupta <saurabhgupta1403@gmail.com>]

hello everyone,

/*First, a brief introduction about me: */
I am Saurabh Gupta from India. I am a senior engineering student. I
have been working for open source projects for a long time and I was a
*GSoC student in 2008* where I successfully completed my project under
the organization Openmoko (www.openmoko.org
<http://www.openmoko.org/>). In 2008 winters, I had my internship at
*Adobe Inc.* where I worked on the package  management system using
C++ and sqlite library. I have a long experience in programming in C,
C++,  Python and other languages. Currently, my final year project at
university is about the automatic data logging system in which I am
working upon socket programming in C, C++,   MYSQL and setting up an
intra-college website using LAMP. I am a user of svn extensively and
use git sometimes.


/*About GSoC GIT ideas;
*/Here are the ideas which I found to be interested in. Although, I
would like to discuss any other idea than these in GIT organization.

*1) Domain specific merge helpers*
Intelligence in the merger can be put which modifies the source file
according the format. Different file formats can be put in the merger
to support.


I am looking forward to get feedback and suggestions for this and to
discuss the ideas. I would like to contribute GIT this summer if I get
a chance through GSoC. If not, then still, I would remain in contact
with the community to contribute in the best possible manner I can.
