Our GHC repositories on darcs.haskell.org have now been upgraded to
"hashed" format, with some nice consequences:
- Using --lazy, getting a GHC repo over the network only takes a
few minutes
- No need to download tarballs any more
- No complicated instructions about how to avoid case-insensitive
filesystem issues on Windows and Mac
The new simpler instructions are here:

We recommend using darcs 2.4 or later for the best performance. Note
that there are issues with 2.4 on Windows right now [1], so it might be
handy to have an earlier version hanging around too, eg. 2.3.1.
comments welcome!
Cheers,
Simon
