Hi Henning, I'm pleased you are planning to move to hub.darcs.net and interested in your feedback.

On this: it's great that Ganesh is willing to code it up, but I find it hard to be enthusiastic. hub.darcs.net is a service I offer for free, dev/ops time is always scarce and I doubt that perpetuating the oldest data formats is the best use of my & our energy. IMHO this will just increase the surface area for bugs and weird operational issues that will need to be dealt with, for ever. In fact I've always thought that part of hub.darcs.net's value would be to once and for all, FINALLY provide a good reason for the last hold-outs to upgrade their repos away from the exponential-bug-vulnerable old-fashioned format which has besmirched darcs' reputation for so long. Can you describe your situation in more detail ? Are these repos haskell ecosystem-related, public, private... ? The usual course for this upgrade is to upgrade the master repo and then have all contributors re-fetch their clones one time. Can't you do that ?
