[GSOC Update] Week 6

================================= SUMMARY ================================== My public git.git is available here[1]. I regularly keep pushing my work so anyone interested can track me there. Feel free to participate in the discussions going on PRs with my mentors. Your comments are valuable.

=============================== INTRODUCTION ============================== The purpose of this project is to convert the git-bisect utility which partly exists in the form of shell scripts to C code so as to make it more portable. I plan to do this by converting each function to C and then calling it from git-bisect.sh so as to use the existing test suite to test the function which is converted.

Mentors: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

================================== Updates ================================= Things which were done in this week:

 * bisect_clean_state() function is converted and sent out to the mailing
   list which received some useful comments from Eric Sunshine and the
   updated version can be found on bisect-reset branch[3].

 * I also converted bisect_reset() function and also introduced a file_size()
   method which received some useful comments from Eric Sunshine and Torsten
   Bogershausen. You can find the whole branch here[3].

 * I have also converted bisect_write() and will send it to the mailing list
   soon. The branch can be found here[4].

 * I also converted is_expected_rev() and check_expected_revs(). I sent
   it to the mailing list which collected some useful reviews from Eric
   Sunshine. I have updated according to the reviews. I need to confirm it
   once before I send it out on the mailing list. You can find the branch
   here[3].

 * My v2[5] on a cleanup patch to use the function macro GIT_PATH_FUNC is
   yet queued on the pu branch.

================================= NEXT STEPS ================================ Things which would be done in the coming week:

 * check_and_set_terms(): This function uses the two global variables in the
   script namely TERM_GOOD TERM_BAD. I have decided to pass then as arguments.

 * get_terms(): This will also introduce a struct to store global variables
   namely TERM_GOOD and TERM_BAD.

 * bisect_terms().

 * bisect_next_check().
