Hi,
    I'm interested in the "More Complete Tests" project in SoC2007.
I've used Linux for about more than one year and know basic bash
skills. I've downloaded the source of Git and read some test scripts
in the t directory. But I get confused.
    As said in the gitwiki page, I'm new to Git and Open Source
Development. I just know the basic usage and cannot figure out how one
component interacts with each other in a few days. It's hard for me to
write a decent plan on how to impove existing test scripts and on
writing a new one. So is there any infomation getting a birdview of
architecture of Git and its test suite? Or the only way is to read the
code?
    By the way, are there many experienced guys applying for this project?
    Thanks very much!
