Hi Moritz and Herbert,

Thank you for detailed comments! We clearly need to carefully think through our 
options for merging Hadrian.

Can I invite you both and everyone else to continue the discussion in 
https://github.com/snowleopard/hadrian/issues/440? Long email threads tend to 
become hard to read/follow and get lost. 

In my view, the two most important requirements in the long term are:

1) Preserving the commit/issue/pull-request history. A GHC developer fighting a 
strange build failure should be able to find a relevant discussion not only now 
but in 5 years from now. This may be solved via documentation, i.e. gradually 
moving all discussions from GitHub to docs/comments. That's a lot of hard work.

2) Making it convenient for GHC developers to work on Hadrian. To me, git 
submodules are not convenient at all, but maybe there is just no other option 
given the requirement (1). Is git subtree a solution? 

Cheers,
Andrey
