The code is fine and clear.

I've started to write code. The plugin code (KDevplatform) is pushed to 
the public Git repository:  http://repo.or.cz/w/kdevelopdvcssupport.git
The most part of basic functionality is already implemented, but to use 
it I have to write some extra lines of code. Now we have a clear 
understanding of required design.
Also I committed some code to KDevelop to make it supporting DVCS. The 
first commit was awful: bad code, wrong commit message (I used Git, and 
forgot it adds special commit message after merging), but in hour I 
fixed all things.

Just a bit. Nothing interesting. But will.

The community is great: all folks are not only cool developers, but 
interesting persons too. Most things are discussed on IRC. Also my 
mentor and I got much support from Shawn O. Pearce who is GSoC org admin 
for Git (he also develops Eclipse Git plugin).
