The blog looks pretty well written. I also read your proposal. It also
seems to be pretty much well written. I like the way you explain things.
Particularly, you seem to be explaining the problem and the way you're
about to approach it well. The plan seems pretty good.

I just thought of suggesting one thing which might possibly be
redundant. I think you're aware of the fact that the Git project has
Travis-CI builds enabled[1] which you could take advantage of to ensure
your changes pass in various text environments.

If you're interested in testing your changes (which I suspect you are),
you might also be interested in 'git-test'[2], a tool built by Michael
Haggerty. Unlike the Travis-CI tests which test only the tip of the
change, 'git-test' would help you ensure that every single commit you
make doesn't break the test suite (which is both a nice thing and is
expected here).

Sorry for the off-topic info about the tests in this mail :-)

Hope you're able to achieve your goal as planned and have a great time
during this summer of code!

KIND NOTE TO THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER:

As I'm not a native English speaker myself, there might be mistaeks in
my usage of English. I apologise for any mistakes that I make.

It would be "helpful" if you take the time to point out the mistakes.

It would be "super helpful" if you could provide suggestions about how
to correct those mistakes.

Thanks in advance!
