GHC more accessible to the outside world.
Heh, you still need darcs to build it, because all the libs are using
darcs, and that's not going to change any time soon.
One thing that might be a good idea is setting up Git mirrors of the
libraries etc that we cannot convert to Git since other people depend
on them. This would give us nice integration with Gits submodule
support, allowing us to check out a consistent snapshot of the entire
tree (including the libraries, Cabal etc) at any point in time
straightforwardly. Of course, as a bonus you wouldn't have to install
Darcs to clone.
I seriously hope the plan is to move all *core* libraries (including
GHC's cabal repo) etc over to git, too. In other word, everything
that you need to build the development version of GHC should come via
git. Having a mix of VCSs would be the worst option of all.
