Hi,

I tried to checkout a Git repo for GHC today according to the
instructions on
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DarcsConversion/Building/GettingTheSources.
Unfortunately, it fails at sync-all get with this error:

"""
$ ./sync-all get
warning: adding --partial, to override use --complete
== running git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-tarballs.git ghc-tarballs
Cloning into ghc-tarballs...
fatal: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-tarballs.git/info/refs not found:
did you run git update-server-info on the server?
git failed: 32768 at ./sync-all line 122.
"""

It looks like the script should actually be downloading ghc-tarballs
from http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-git/, not http://darcs.haskell.org/.

I have verified that cloning the initial repository from
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-git/ghc.git/ instead means that the
sync-all script does the Right Thing.

If this isn't meant to work yet, a note should probably be added to
the Wiki page to that effect. If it is meant to work, it looks like
something needs to be fixed: perhaps move/symlink to those repos out
of the ghc-git subdirectory?

Cheers,
Max
