Yeah, possible co-mentor. Thanks :)

That's great. Maybe you can start by learning:
- What is cat-file?
- How cat-file works?
- What is ref-filter?
- How ref-filter works?
- What logic previous students came up with to unify these?
- How much work has been done?

Note: here at Git, we usually prefer inline replies. So, please avoid
top posting.

Hariom.
