The ideas page mentions this as a potential improvement. Before drafting a full proposal, I wanted to confirm: 1. Is this direction still desired, or is it already being worked on by someone? 2. Which git-sizer metrics does the community consider most valuable to add first? 3. Should new structure tests go in t1900-repo-info.sh or a separate t1901-repo-structure.sh? My contributions so far: - t7605 microproject: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/2050 - Variable shadow fix in repo.c: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/2062 - Structure tests: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/2064 Thanks, Mansi Singh ``` ## Kaartic Sivaraam, 2026-03-10 19:58 Subject: Re: [GSoC] Discussion: git repo structure enhancements Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/b65284f5-f1b7-4af3-a126-f373bf93da7c%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Mansi, Thank you for your interest in contributing to Git!

We have a couple of proposal related to it. There is also some discussion on the scope of the project. If you're yet to start working on a proposal and have other things that interest you, kindly pick them for the time being. We'll post shortly about the "repo info" idea. -- Sivaraam ```
