Hi all (especially students)
I've made some clarifications to GSoC student guide about git repositories [1].
To make it short: We want to merge your code as soon as possible.
So try to keep your repository in good shape all the time and whenever you've completed some bigger part, just file a pull request on Github or tell your mentor to merge your changes.
