[ANNOUNCE] Git Merge Contributor's Summit Mar 7, 2018, Barcelona

[Jeff King]

Git Merge 2018 is happening on March 8th; there will be a Contributor's
Summit the day before. Here are the details:

  When: Wednesday, March 7, 2018. 10am-5pm.
  Where: Convent Dels Àngels[1], Barcelona, Spain
  What: Round-table discussion about Git
  Who: All contributors to Git or related projects in the Git ecosystem
       are invited; if you're not sure if you qualify, just ask!

In order to attend, you'll need to register ahead of time. There's a
super-secret link to do so; email me and I will provide it.
Registration is free, and comes with a ticket to the main conference on
the 8th (which I encourage you to attend, but you don't have to).

As with past years, the agenda is whatever we choose. We'll have room
for about 25 people with "boardroom-style seating" and a projector.
Come prepared with topics to present or discuss.

If you're interested in financial aid for traveling to the conference,
please send an email to git@sfconservancy.org.  And please do so soon
(let's say by the end of next week, Jan 26th), so that we have an idea
of the number and size of requests before making any grants.

Hi Peff,

I would like to register to the contributor summit :-)

---

As I am writing you, I thought I could ask you a question:

"git verify-pack" tells me the "size-in-packfile" which is
kind of the "real" size of a file in a Git repo. Are you 
aware of a way to get this number via the GitHub API?

We have written a GitHub bot (soon to be open sourced!) that
warns about large files. We query the file size via Repo Content
API [1]. Largish text files usually compress well and therefore
our bot generates false positive warnings.

I assume it is not possible to query "size-in-packfile" via GitHub
API as this is kind of an internal and not necessarily stable
number. But I thought maybe you happen to know some way!

Thanks,
Lars

PS: In my last email I asked you about AsciiDoc rendering via *.adoc
    extension on GitHub. Your argument that Git has custom AsciiDoc 
    configs and attributes convinced me to not propose that idea on 
    the list.
