We're using git internally at galois now for a lot of things, but only
on unicies and macs. Its like a fast darcs, with a less simple
interface. A lot faster.

It would be worth doing a bit of testing with various systems on windows
-- find out which ones can actually import the ghc history, for example,
and work with it.

The rest of the community wouldn't move away from darcs for all the small
projects.
