To my surprise, git format-patch had removed the Git Notes that I had put to my commit (regarding GSoC). I have written this patch as a part of the GSoC 2014 MicroProject for Git. Going through the mail-chain I observed that many students have attempted this Microproject. So is it ok if I stick to this Microproject or should I go with another one?
