hello cabal devs,
i am willing to put a bit of time into improving the help texts of cabal-install. some questions:
1) nobody else is working on this, right? is there risk that it interferes with other's work? (i'd basically touch Distribution.Simple.Command and the different fooCommand's in both Setup.hs's)
Not to my knowledge.
2) is there a specific reason that the help texts currently are so short, other than lack of time/focus on functionality? pending large changes or smth?
Not really, feel free to go ahead and improve things.
3) is there a policy to keep commits touching Cabal and cabal-install subdirectories separate (for git-subtree purposes, for example)?
No, and I think it's better to change both in lockstep so that there are no broken revisions in history.
