  4. Contributing to other discussion of --follow on the list.

It is a small thing, perhaps, but I am very happy to see a GSoC student actively participating in the community.

Speaking of which, I haven't finished polishing the --follow patches from our earlier thread. I was taking a look at making history simplification (including --parents) work. Are you going to be doing any work on that this summer? If so, I will probably just drop it for now and let you deal with it. :)
