It is done, but not ready.

This means, we, my mentors and I, are currently still reviewing the code.
But I am pinched for time until the end of September due to an important
exam. My mentors also have not much time and so everything is a little
slowed down.
When they ACK, it will be sent to the list.

During the GSoC application phase I have done a breakdown and I declared
two items as "bonus" if I am really quick with the rest. But I wasn't
that quick, so none of the bonus items have even begun.

Those were:
 6. [bonus] rewrite the users in C
 7. [bonus] discuss (with git development team and/or mentor)
    sequencer features needed for gitk and implement them

Now I think (7) is even more needed/interesting, e.g. to be able to do
interactive rebasing with gitk.

And (6) shouldn't be that hard, but it will be even more interesting when
sequencer is libified. I have some ideas for that, but I think, this is
not so important in near time. Perhaps, there are other parts that need
some libification first. :)

> Students, could you please tell us if you plan to work on git further, 

Yes!

But due to my current lack of time I have ignored some topics on the
list that I am interested in. :-(

This is fluctating.

Strange people. Lunatics. Geeks.

:-)

In the beginning: portable shell is a mess. ;)
Well, I guess I have learned a lot more...

Regards,
 Stephan
