The biggest omission right now is the reftable backend, but that one I plan to work on myself in this release cycle. I'll leave it to Jialuo to decide whether there's anything else in this context that would make for a good GSoC project, as he's been the primary driving force here. > - Refactor git-bisect(1) to make its state self-contained I'd rather remove that project. It would be nice to have it, but it feels too risky for a GSoC project, and we have better ones. > - Implement support for reftables in "dumb" HTTP transport I'd be fine mentoring this project.
