Hello everyone,
This is Pankaj, I am a second year CS student at Indian Institute of
Technology, Madras.

I am interested in contributing to Mercurial.
While going through mercurial site, I noticed only two of the total five
ideas for last year gsoc were attempted.
I would like to work upon the third idea, Performance
Tuning<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SummerOfCode/Ideas2011v> of
Mercurial:

   - Optimizing startup performance
   - Optimizing revlog parsing and indexing with a C index class extension
   - Improving performance of the status command
   - Eliminating unnecessary checks of unknown files in merge/update
   - Optimizing performance on Windows


But since I am new to Mercurial, I would like someone to mentor/help me a
little along with the project.
Can someone please help me with that?

Credentials: I have knowledge of C, C++ and Python (I did a few projects in
python).

Thank you,

*-- Panks*
