Sorry for the lack of update since Jun 14, was a little busy with an exam I had. Now thats over, I will be working more on the project. Current Progress: 1. Building ref-filter.{c,h} from for-each-ref. This is the process of creating an initial library for the unification by moving most of the code from for-each-ref to ref-filter.{c,h}. thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/271563v2 This was the last edition (v8) and should be merged into next eventually. 2. Add options to ref-filter. This includes the porting of --points-at, --contains, --merged, --no-merged options from builtin/branch.c and builtin/tag.c, Also the implementation of these options into for-each-ref. The last version (v6) is posted here: http:/thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/272641 Currently waiting for comments. 3. Port builtin/tag.c to use ref-filter. Here we port tag.c to use ref-filter and also port the --format, --sort and --merged and --no-merged options to builtin/tag.c. The "RFC" version is posted and I'm waiting for comments from the list: thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/272654 Next Plans: I'm currently working on porting over builtin/branch.c to use ref-filter.{c,h} the only problem with branch.c is that it implements different colors for different branches while printing. Hence we need to think about how we could use the code from ref-filter to print the filtered branches. As usual all intermediate code will be pushed to my Github repository https://github.com/KarthikNayak/git -- Regards, Karthik Nayak ```
