Yeah, I started working on this last year for Booking.com, and I am now slowly working on it for GitLab. It is not yet finished because it has been low priority work.

I took a very quick look at Han-Wen's implementation and it looks very different from mine from the outside. It seems more complete, but might be less integrated into the Git code base.

Best, Christian.
