we are in the middle of the suggested 'pencils down' date (August 11 --
-- August 18), I and perhaps other on git mailing list would like
to know what is the current status of all git GSoC 2008 projects.
I think that writing it down would help GSoC manager and co-manager...

4. Eclipse plugin push support
Student: Marek Zawirski
Mentor: Shawn O. Pearce
JGit can now create (suboptimal) packs: it can reuse delta, but cannot
currently create one. This is used to implement push support in
jgit/egit.
Status: Done, merged in, and used as example to add for example Amazon's
S3 support and SFTP transport support.
I'm just putting in the background patches with my 2nd big task for
GSoC: (mostly) GUI for push. This code uses prior work - the one
described by Jakub.
It took me a long time to do it, I was expecting some more time for
other things, but it was probably better to focus on 1 thing at time. I
think that we can say now that it's usable: it's possible to push from
Eclipse in some (hopefully) sensible way.
Basing on created components, we can also add fetch GUI or remotes
configuration editor easier than before.
Student retention: I don't know, but I guess it is likely.
Nice guess! ;) That's quite true. I'm sure that I will no longer have
that much time for coding jgit or egit, but when possible, I'll try to
contribute in some way. Now, I'm starting to work on fetch GUI.
Having this opportunity, I want to say: thank you Shawn for being that
great mentor! :) And thanks to other folks for given help. I've learned
some new things here and it was (is?) nice experience to code for egit.
