Hi,
git-darcs-import:
- adds 4 source files to darcs
- adds 1 executable item to the .cabal file
- can import the ghc repository into a git repository within minutes
Why?
- git blame is faster than darcs annotate
- gitk qgit can be used to browse history and see which patch changed
what.
I always feel very uncomfortable reading darcs changes -v
However I'd like to make this tool mainstream which means it should be
integrated into the official darcs distribution.
However I don't know the darcs code base very well.
Maybe you can help me figuring out whether this should be a darcs
command rather than an additional executable and what to tidy up?
You can apply this darcs patch to darcs to compile git-darcs-import

Importing darcs itself fails with:

error: Unable to update tags/this_version_works.
error: Unable to update tags/unstable_before_bytestring_patches.
git-fast-import failed. (exit code 1)
However this seems to be a tagging issue only. I didn't investigate.
First and last patches are present.
How do you think about this?
By the way I asked about this one year ago:
http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-devel/2008-November/008780.html
So should I try using darcs library instead now?
