And the idea of bringing more parallelism to git seems to be too big for a GSoC project. So, perhaps, if we manage to identify wether parallelism would indeed bring a good performance gain to git, I could propose that to my advisor professor as my undergraduate thesis and I could work on that during this whole year. It is still an idea to be matured, but do you think it would be feasible?
