Google Summer of Code 2009: GIT

hello everyone,

/*First, a brief introduction about me: */ I am Saurabh Gupta from India. I am a senior engineering student. I have been working for open source projects for a long time and I was a *GSoC student in 2008* where I successfully completed my project under the organization Openmoko (www.openmoko.org <http://www.openmoko.org/>). In 2008 winters, I had my internship at *Adobe Inc.* where I worked on the package management system using C++ and sqlite library. I have a long experience in programming in C, C++, Python and other languages. Currently, my final year project at university is about the automatic data logging system in which I am working upon socket programming in C, C++, MYSQL and setting up an intra-college website using LAMP. I am a user of svn extensively and use git sometimes.

/*About GSoC GIT ideas; */Here are the ideas which I found to be interested in. Although, I would like to discuss any other idea than these in GIT organization.

*1) Domain specific merge helpers* Intelligence in the merger can be put which modifies the source file according the format. Different file formats can be put in the merger to support.

I am looking forward to get feedback and suggestions for this and to discuss the ideas. I would like to contribute GIT this summer if I get a chance through GSoC. If not, then still, I would remain in contact with the community to contribute in the best possible manner I can.
