It’s David Riccardo’s comparative advantage all over again!
Maybe there’s something you are doing that someone else can do instead so you have time for the PR?
Could you share those branches here or somewhere where it can be easily found?
If you have an overview of
- what has been done
- where we are now
- what has to be done and in which order
maybe somebody would be able to help out. Right now, I wouldn’t know where to start, nor what to do, and probably I’m not the only one.

At long last I did the merging to get the Git parts up to date

As a result, we have this draft PR Git object hashing in libstore by Ericson2314 · Pull Request #8918 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
Thanks to @matthewbauer in particular who, back in 2020, wrote most of the underlying implementation.
A little status update, per [RFC 0133] Git hashing and Git-hashing-based remote stores by Ericson2314 · Pull Request #133 · NixOS/rfcs · GitHub the first part of the git hashing RFC 133 is now implemented!
nix store add --mode git --hash-algo sha1 <file>
You can see the tracking issue and milestone for what remains.
