You can see a lot in Git's history itself: git log --grep="[Mmake].*builtin" --no-merges builtin.h The Google Summer of Code projects' home page is http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2007Projects The ongoing progress for this particular project can be seen here: http://repo.or.cz/w/git/builtin-gsoc.git Hth, Dscho
