Hi,

Unfortunately at this stage I can't even pull from the main darcs repo into
the branch. I have no idea what's going wrong, but darcs just seems to take
forever, using the CPU fully but never outputting anything. Can anyone try
doing

darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-generic-11Oct10/ghc --lazy
> cd ghc
> darcs pull http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc -a
>

and see if darcs hangs on this last step? While I have seen darcs entering
some sort of loop and not giving any output before, generally making a new
local copy of the repo solved the issue. But now it doesn't.

I'm using darcs-2.5, and darcs check says the repository is consistent.


Thanks,
Pedro
