Hi,

I would like to participate in GSoC 2017 and I have chosen the Use
unsigned integral type for collection of bits , idea from the Micro
projects list.

I request the help of the community for clarifying a few questions that I have.

1. Is this Microproject already taken ?

2. If it is free , I would like to point out one place where a signed
int is used .

      In bisect.h , the structure struct rev_list_info uses flags of
type signed int but , the value of MSB is not checked as a test case
for any error checking. Hence it can be of type unsigned int.
It is only used in rev-list.c for checking cases (BISECT_SHOW_ALL and
REV_LIST_QUIET ).

 Is this a valid case.

Thanks.
