Harumph. I'm no expert on git, but once we've switched the only reasonable 
thing to do is to make the ghc-generics a branch in git.

One way to achieve that might be this.  Assume that on Day X we switch from 
darcs to Git.  On that day, an identical GHC is available in Darcs and Git.  
Call that X-darcs and X-git

·         pull all patches from X-darcs into your tree.  resolve all conflicts

·         create a new git rep from X-git

·         make a new git branch for generics

·         copy the files from your darcs tree to your git tree

There may be better ways!

Hi,

Great!.  You should be able to
                darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-generic-11Oct10/ghc

How will this branch be affected by the transition to git?


Thanks,
Pedro
