Our Summer of Code student Guo Rui ('firemeteor') has been making
terrific progress on issue #2843, which is about providing a deselection
(i.e., "folding up") interface for sparse-directories.
I'm his official mentor, but I've gotten behind on reviewing his
changes. I was at OSCON all last week, and intended to catch up this
week, but have fallen ill and will not be able to (despite what some
might say, one cannot review code and sleep at the same time).
If anyone can help out by reviewing r32190, r32264, and r32265, that
would be great. I'm sorry to offload my mentoring responsibilities like
this; blame the microbes!
The general state of the branch is that he's mostly done. Today I got
this private email from him (I don't think he'll mind my quoting it
here):

So I think what remains is finishing up, not reworking basic questions
about the feature or anything like that.
While I'm cataloguing my recent failures as a mentor, I should also
mention the following posts from him:
A trunk patch awaiting review (blocks some of his branch work):

I'm going back to sleep now :-). I'll appreciate any help anyone can
give Guo Rui, and I'll try to do as much of the above as I can too, of
course. But I think I'm probably out of commission through the weekend,
given the way I feel <blatant-appeal-for-sympathy shameless="true"/>.
Thanks,
-Karl
