I would agree that it is *not* a "too low hanging fruit". The thing is, it would be a really easy way to get into the groove, to understand how changes are expected to be contributed, what the process of iterating the patches/patch series is, and in what form the patches are preferred. Moritz, if you worry about this lil' project to be too little, why don't you just start with it and then tackle another one? That way, you will be already very familiar with the Git project (and the regulars will be familiar with you) when GSoC comes around. Ciao, Johannes
