[GSOC Update] Week 113

================= SUMMARY =================== My public git.git is available here[1]. I regularly keep pushing my work so anyone interested can track me there. Feel free to participate in the discussions going on PRs with my mentors. Your comments are valuable. ================ INTRODUCTION =================== The purpose of this project is to convert the git-bisect utility which partly exists in the form of shell scripts to C code so as to make it more portable. I plan to do this by converting each function to C and then calling it from git-bisect.sh so as to use the existing test suite to test the function which is converted. Mentors: Christian Couder [off-list ref] Lars Schneider [off-list ref] =================== Updates ====================== Things which were done in this week: * I have converted bisect_start() but there is a bug which I am still working on which conflicts with the `--term-bad` and `--term-good` of `--bisect-terms` subcommand. A RFC has been sent to the list[2]. Junio provided some reviews on it. A resend can be expected soonish. ================== NEXT STEPS ==================== Things which would be done in the coming week: * Resend all patches according to Junio's review. * bisect_next() has become a top priority because it would then help converting bisect_auto_next() and then it can be called by other important functions like bisect_start(). * Following that I will convert bisect_auto_start() * Then bisect_replay(). ============ My Patches (GSoC project only) ========== * My current work is sent out to the mailing list here[2] which contains the whole conversion. The latter 2 patches still need a lot of development. [1]: https://github.com/pranitbauva1997/git [2]: http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg282332.html Regards, Pranit Bauva
