SUMMARY OF MY PROJECT: Git submodule subcommands are currently implemented by using shell script 'git-submodule.sh'. There are several reasons why we'll prefer not to use the shell script. My project intends to convert the subcommands into C code, thus making them builtins. This will increase Git's portability and hence the efficiency of working with the git-submodule commands. Link to the complete proposal: [1] Mentors: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> Christian Couder <christian.couder@xxxxxxxxx> UPDATES: Following are the updates about my ongoing project: 1. sync and status: The patches were discussed with the mentors and after that, are being posted with this patch. 2. deinit: The patch is finally debugged, and is ready to be discussed. It is also attached with this update. 3. summary: While porting the subcommand, I underwent certain issues. After getting them clarified from my mentors, I have resumed working on it. I'm aware of the time I have taken for porting this subcommand is more than the previous ones. Hence will try my best to finish this in this week. 4. foreach: As stated in the previous update, the subcommand was ported without resolving the bug, and simply translating the present code, and adding a NEEDSWORK tag to the comment for mentioning the reported bug as well. But as communicating between child_process is still an issue and so there was no simple was to current carry out the porting. And hence, a hack was used instead. But after discussing it, instead using the repository-object patch series will help to resolve these issues in this situation. PLAN FOR WEEK-6 (20 June 2017 to 26 June 2017): 1. summary: Mostly I'll be working on this and post the patch for discussion as soon as possible. 2. foreach: As it was decided that unblock the conversion of this submodule subcommand, the original cmd_foreach was ported without including the BUG-FIX patch here. Hence, for this week I will try to utilize the 'repository-object' series by Brandon Williams. 3. deinit: I will be working on improvising this patch as it was recently debugged and posted for discussion.
