================================= 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:

 * I have converted check_and_set_terms() and have also sent an RFC[2] to the
   mailing list for discussion which hasn't yet collected any comments. It is
   kind of important to discuss this as it uses a way to set the global
   variables in the script by writing it to a file and then reading it.
 * I have also converted bisect_next_check() but this has a bug which will
   soon be fixed. This is available here[3].
 * I have converted get_terms().
 * I am on my way to convert bisect_terms() which should probably finish by
   tomorrow.
 * I also send out a patch[4] which describes the return value of
   strbuf_read_file() and is queued on the pu branch.

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

 * Finish off bisect_terms().
 * bisect_run().
 * bisect_replay().
 * I have my mid term evaluations this week. Hope I clear it successfully.
