Diversity in implementation is a Good Thing. why not ask hugs/nhc maintainers to switch to git too? it seems that darcs while being good solution for small/medium programs, hardly may be used for ghc. so, probably it should be divided to 2 parts: "large things" including compilers and corelibs should go into git and "small things" including all the 3rd-party libs should stay with darcs -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
