Extending Git without breaking it – Adrian Ratiu, Collabora

The speaker proposes three interesting patch series to git, at least two of which have
the potential to cause backwards compatibility breakages, so careful review and testing
is required:
1. Submodule path encoding to avoid repository conflicts.
2. Extended git hooks, specified via configs.
3. Parallel hook execution.
This talk gives a quick overview of the history, motivation as well as design alternatives
/ trade-offs and risks associated with each proposal.
