Hi,
I am Vipul A M, a final year Comp. Sci. student. I was interested to
work on JGit for GSoC, and had posted before. I see some action here,
so posting again.

I am currently working with JGit on two of my projects,

* one which only made use of the JGit API to provide nice Web-Interface.
* in the other one I had to make changes and add a command to the API,
and pgm CLI, and work with the clone-pull-fetch and pack-level jobs.

I would be interested to work on translating pgm CLI switches/commands
and vice-versa,
But I have been lazy with JGit tests.

Waiting to hear more, on this.
