But it's important to bite off a small enough, useful chunk of it and work on that. One, because you want something small enough to finish in the GSoC time-frame. But two, because a small, solid start on a larger project is much more useful to the community as a whole than a larger chunk that is not-so-solid. Because people in the community (and you, if you want to keep working on it!) may pick up the project from its state at the end of the summer. > Considering this circumstances I think we should implement the client > with the basic commands by reusing git's high level code.

Yeah, I had always assumed it would build independent of git's mainstream. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
