Oh, pretty useful. I also couldn't find it on the wiki and this page
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/GitRepoReorganization
even claims it's going to be obsolete (starting with 7.10?).
Google shows that something related was mentioned in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources?version=93
but the new version of the page missed that info.
This emails refers to the no-longer available info on the wiki, too:
https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-January/003930.html
I wonder what happened and which info is meaningful only
for GHC < 7.8 or even ==7.8 and which parts make sense
for 7.10 as well.
Cheers,
Mikolaj
