I have several project ideas:

   - Document the "binary diff" format. Right now we have documentation
     for all diff formats used in Git, except for binary diff. Hint:
     read `diff.c`
   - Rewrite `git-request-pull.sh` in C. Currently the shell script
     implementation hard-codes message template and only outputs to
     stdout (though can be redirected to a file using shell means).
     In the C version, message template can be configured (with the
     default is same as current version) and introduces new
     `-o/--output` option to specify output file.
