Hello everyone. We are a team of four students from a French school of engineering (Ensimag: http://ensimag.grenoble-inp.fr/). To end the school year, we are supposed to work on a four-week full-time project, under the supervision of Matthieu Moy, who has been following Git's development for quite a few years now. We thought it would be interesting to contribute to git/libgit2. We are especially interested in one of the GSoC2011 ideas : Build a minimal Git client based on libgit2 (http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2011Ideas#Build_a_minimal_Git_client_based_on_libgit2)

We started by taking a look at libgit2 API and Git source code, and we have already begun to write some (quick and dirty) code. We would like to know more about your expectations around the "minimal" git client. What are the key features to implement ? According to the GSoC proposal, we should implement some high level functionalities (push, commit, branch...). Perhaps we should concentrate on more "plumbing" commands ?

Regards,

Bettaoui Nassima Geissler Romain Glesser David Pegon Marc.
