Re: new Darcs-Repository field?

Björn Bringert suggested that the Hackage page for a package should include a link to the Darcs repo (if any, but who uses anything else?) and maybe some darcs integration such as changelogs and the like. To make this work, we'd need a URL-valued Darcs-Repository field in the package description.

Trac uses a syntax like 'VC:FILE' for the repo, eg. 'darcs:/home/darcs/ghc'. Perhaps we could do the same, something like source-repository: darcs:http://darcs.haskell.org/happy or is that too many colons? :) The syntax of the thing after the 'darcs:' is entirely VC-dependent, of course.
