It depends a lot what part of git you would like to work on. Do you find one of the proposed subject interesting? If yes, tell us and the relevant people will probably tell you what you could start with.

And by the way the same question has been asked recently and the answer was to search a mailing list archive for "low hanging fruit" as we don't use any bug tracker. You could perhaps search the source code for "TODO" or "NEEDS WORK" too.

I hope you will have more time during the summer otherwise it might not be enough for the GSOC.

Thanks, Christian.
