[GSOC2014] History Repair Tools

Hello everyone,

I'm Tamer Tas. I am studying computer engineering in Turkey. I'm about to complete my junior year in Middle East Technical University.

After setting up my git development environment, I've submitted patches to a microproject [1][2][3]. I'm still getting feedbacks on the microproject. Feedback cycle has been very informative.

I am interested in developing history repair tools for git. For the past days I've been learning about how git manages history, inspecting git fsck, replace, hash-object. Also I've learned how git filter-branch is used to rewrite history and the drawbacks of this approach. I've submitted the first draft of my proposal and I would love to get a feedback from Jeff King or Michael Haggarty (Mentors of the project) or the community so I can improve my proposal.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks in advance.

Tamer Tas
