RE: Getting source code
I've updated the Getting the GHC sources page -- you might want to check I got it right. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources In general, though, yes it's a Wiki and you are not only welcome but positively encouraged to make it more helpful. So go right ahead.

Re: Getting source code
It would also be nice to have the case issue with Mac OS X document, as recent file systems have been case-insensitive for a while. Just a quick note: At Mac OS X install time (or other file system creation time) you can choose case sensitivity for HPFS+ (the default file system on Mac OS X).

Re: Getting source code on Mac OS X
I did some more digging and it looks like Mac OS X (BASH? BASH on Mac OS X? BSD? POSIX?) limits the number of files that a program can have open. Increasing this limit makes the issue disappear. By default, user accounts are limited to 256 open files (per process?) but this can be changed with ulimit. To see the current limit, type in `ulimit -n'. To increase the allowed number of files to the maximum, type in `ulimit -n unlimited'. Sometimes an error message will be generated, sometimes not. If a message is generated, restart Terminal.app and try again. After the operation succeeds, it's probably a good idea to set the limit back to its original value (`ulimit -n 256'). After doing some testing, it appears that 256 files is only slightly too small; `darcs pull -a' succeeds (at the moment) when the file limit is set to 320. I'll update the GHC wiki and follow up on the darcs bug in a bit.

Getting source code
