Hello developers, this is the thread where you can know about my weekly GSoC blog links. My Project - Reachability bitmap improvements Blog update ------------ Title - GSoC Week 1: Let's Get started Blog link - https://medium.com/@abhra303/gsoc-week-1-lets-get-started-fad78ec34dcf Summary - This is the first blog that I wrote for GSoC. Taylor suggested that I should work on "integrating a lookup table extension" first as it is smaller compared to other sub-projects. The idea is to have a table at the end of .bitmap file which will contain the offsets (and xor-offsets) of the bitmaps of selected commits. Whenever git try to get the bitmap of a particular commit, instead of loading each bitmaps one by one, git will parse only the desired bitmap by using the offset and xor-offset of the table. This will reduce the overhead of loading each and every bitmap.
