Hi  Christian,

I'm afraid I won't have sufficient time to take on the remaining commands in the upcoming school year. I'd like to leave those for other contributors who are interested.

Sorry for not providing more details in my final report. In 2023 ideas[1] git write-tree, git diff-files, git diff-tree, git worktree have all been successfully implemented with sparse index integration.There are some remaining issues in git check-attr related to diffs.[2][3]

Two other commands on the list are being worked on by Raghul: 'git describe' has been successfully integrated, 'git diff-index' still need more work. The remaining commands on the list have not been started on.

hope that helps! Shuqi
