Coincidentally I started working on similar thing already (1) and I have
lots of ideas around it.

I guess it's time to start sharing these ideas then ;-).

I think there's a lot to do. If we want to push this idea as a GSoC
project, we need:

* A rough plan. We can't expect students to read a vague text like
 "let's make Git safer" and write a real proposal out of it.

* A way to start this rough plan incrementally (i.e. first step should
 be easy and mergeable without waiting for next steps).

Feel free to start writting an idea for
http://git.github.io/SoC-2016-Ideas/. It'd be nice to have a few more
ideas before Friday. We can polish them later if needed.

I published my ideas here:
https://github.com/git/git.github.io/pull/125/files

Do you think that works as start or do we need more detailed, hands-on
instructions?

Thanks,
Lars
