Prathamesh ChavanSUMMARY OF MY PROJECT:
Git submodule subcommands are currently implemented by using shell script 'git-submodule.sh'. There are several reasons why we'll prefer not to use the shell script. My project intends to convert the subcommands into C code, thus making them builtins. This will increase Git's portability and hence the efficiency of working with the git-submodule commands.

Mentors: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Christian Couder <christian.couder@gmail.com>
UPDATES:
As proposed, till 15th May I mostly spend my time updating my information about the codebase.
Along with this, I even spend some time working on the patch: submodule: port subcommand foreach from shell to C[2] I even updated my patch by sending v3, and adding a test[3] to the existing ones. Currently, the patch passes all the test, except the newly added one.
PLAN FOR WEEK-1:
As proposed, I would be starting to code officially from 16th May (tomorrow), and hence have plans for working as follows:
Improvise submodule: port subcommand foreach from shell to C patch, as suggested and also work on getting the newly added test passed. I have recently received review from Brandon Williams <bmwill@google.com> and my mentor Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> which I am really thankful for, and wish to implement these suggestions as soon as possible.
Adding to this, I am also waiting for the community's review on the issue regarding the $path variable, which I added along with the patch[2]. This issue is also highlighted by the new test[3] added. Any suggestion would be of huge help to work further on getting all the tests clear.
Along with this, I plan to port submodule subcommand status. This required first porting of the function set_name_rev from shell to C, and then later port the subcommand.
