[jgit-dev] Committer Election for Han-Wen NIenhuys on Eclipse JGit: Java

[emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A committer election for Han-Wen NIenhuys on project Eclipse JGit: Java
implementation of Git (technology.jgit) was started by Matthias Sohn with
this criteria:

Over the last 3 years Han-Wen has contributed a stream of high quality
patches [1].

Most notably he implemented reftable [2] for FileRepository [3] which
provides a number
of advantages over the traditional storage format of loose and packed refs:
  * O(1) write performance, even for deletions and transactions.
  * atomic updates to the ref database.
  * O(log N) lookup and prefix scans
  * free from restrictions imposed by the file system: it is
    case-sensitive even on case-insensitive file systems, and has
    no inherent limitations for directory/file conflicts
  * prefix compression reduces space usage for repetitive ref names,
    such as gerrit's refs/changes/xx/xxxxx format.

He is also is working on a corresponding Go and C implementation [4] to
ensure support for
the new storage format in all major git implementations.

Hence I think it's overdue that we welcome Han-Wen as a committer on the
project.
