Simon and I were looking at 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Repositories

Consider the 'containers' line of the table at the bottom.  We can't figure out 
why we need the mirror http://darcs.haskell.org/git-mirrors/containers/.git/.   
Would it not be an easier workflow to 
  - pull from the containers master repo        
git://github.com/haskell/containers.git
  - validate
  - push to the GHC lagging repo 
http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/containers.git/
?

The mirror simply imposes a delay, adds complexity, without a visible payoff.  
(It's different for Darcs repos, for which an automated Darcs to Git conversion 
is needed.)

In short, could we eliminate the entire column "git mirror" from the table?

Also, in the picture, what does "local git upstream" mean?  Should it not say 
"git upstream"?

Thanks

Simon
