Thanks Heiko.

I would offer to help implement this for you, if you find it to be a good idea, but I've never done git development before and based on what I've seen it seems like you need to know at least 2-3 languages to contribute: bash, perl, C++. I know C++ & Python but I don't know perl or bash scripting language.

What would it take to help you guys out? It's easy to complain & file bugs but as a developer I feel like I should offer more, if it suits you.

Let me know I'm happy to help with anything. Thanks again!!
