[GSoC15] Interested in contributing to git

Hi all,

git is one of the projects that I wish to contribute to for Google
Summer of Code 2015 as it's an integral part of my workflow. I'm from
Singapore, and have been accepted to the National University of
Singapore for Computer Engineering, and will only matriculate on 3 Aug
2015. I have experience in programming with Python, C and C++, and
have successfully submitted patches to projects such as libuv[1] and
node-contextify[2].

[2]: https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify/commit/7e3e0a89779cd892b3d8604795b6675d6aecff17

I understand that I have to complete a microproject. I would like
complete "Move ~/.git-credentials and ~/.git-credential-cache to
~/.config/git". I'm thinking that the XDG locations should take
precedence over the non-XDG locations?

For the project, I am interested in implementing "git fetch --deepen"
because I use the shallow clone feature quite often. I'm looking over
the source code to see how difficult it would be to implement it :)

Thanks,
Paul
