I regularly keep pushing my work so\nanyone interested can track me there. Feel free to participate in the\ndiscussions going on PRs with my mentors. Your comments are valuable.\n\n\n============== INTRODUCTION  ==============\nThe purpose of this project is to convert the git-bisect utility which partly\nexists in the form of shell scripts to C code so as to make it more portable.\nI plan to do this by converting each function to C and then calling it from\ngit-bisect.sh so as to use the existing test suite to test the function which\nis converted.\n\nMentors:\nChristian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>\nLars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>\n\n\n================ Updates ===================\nThings which were done in this week:\n\n * I have converted bisect_start() and the bug has been eliminated too.\n\n * I have converted bisect_next() but still has some bugs. A notable\n   problem is that the bisect.c code uses exit() statements and `trap` in\n   the shell code for cleanup with `bisect_clean_state()`. So as\n   suggested by Lars, I intend to use `bisect_clean_state()` along with\n   die() as cleanup (or goto preferably).\n\n================= NEXT STEPS =================\nThings which would be done in the coming week:\n\n * Resend all patches rebased wtih v2.10-rc0.\n\n * bisect_next()\n\n * Following that I will convert bisect_auto_start()\n\n * Then bisect_replay().\n\n=========== My Patches (GSoC project only) ===========\n\n * My current work is sent out to the mailing list here[2] which contains\n   the whole conversion. Please don't merge the previous patches to next\n   yet. Junio has requested me to rebase it on v2.10-rc0 so will resend\n   it. Plus there are some change in the patch 04/13 which change the\n   location of the function `bisect_clean_state()` from\n   builtin/bisect--helper.c to bisect.c .\n\n[1]: https://github.com/pranitbauva1997/git\n[2]: https://public-inbox.org/git/010201567675adc1-17e27495-6b36-40d1-836d-814da029fcc4-000000@eu-west-1.amazonses.com/\n\nRegards,\nPranit Bauva\n"}]}
