Mentors (and GSoC students),

Two topics your students have worked on conflict heavily at the
philosophical level; "rebase in C" rewrite assumes that backend
implementations are forever written in shell and can be invoked by
dot-sourcing ". git-rebase--$backend", while violating that
assumption is the whole point of "rebase-i in C" rewrite.  Trying to
use them together would of course not work without a bit of "last
mile" further glue.

I do not think neither topic is ready for the upcoming release, but
can you help your students to come up with "the final step" to make
the fruits of their effort work well together?

Thanks.
