After much discussion [3], implementing corrected commit date and exploring alternatives were broken down to two different projects - with the understanding that the exploration is closer to 'Research Experience for Undergraduates' than a GSoC project. However, I had been working on a proposal [4] on the exploration. I describe the methods, talk about their characteristics such as memory usage, preprocessing time, performance on positive and negative queries. You should also refer to Dr. Jakub's resources at the end of SoC 2020 Ideas page [5]. I would recommend starting with the Dr. Jakub's slides and 'Pruning Based on DFS Numbering'.
