We do have tags for releases
Hello,
perhaps we should have a well-defined place in the repo where we keep the
finger-prints associated with tags and branches in the main repo?
This would make it a lot easier to get to a fully defined
previous/different state.
On this note, could someone send the link to the 7.6 fingerprint?
Well, it doesn't quite have the same drawbacks as submodules, because our solution places a burden
only on someone who wants to recover a particular repository state, rather than on everyone doing
development.
I think it's worth keeping an eye on submodules in case they fix the gotchas in the U

Hello,
I was just trying to build the GHC-7.6 branch from source and the build
failed with type-errors, because the libraries used by GHC have moved on
since the release, and "sync all" just gets the most recent version.
Is there a "fingerprint" somewhere so that I can checkout the libraries in
