Why? If we only had ghc.haskell.org, we could just migrate that couldn't we? Or are you imagining a situation in which ghc.haskell.org and git.haskell.org were really different servers? Trac on one, and the repo on another, say? Hmm. maybe that makes sense.
Here's some more motivation why a new "git.haskell.org" hostname was desired: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.infrastructure/103

You didn't reply to this.
I've fixed this right now; seems the semantics changed for wiki: links in Trac 0.12, so that "wiki:Repositories" was a link relative to "/WorkingConventions/" instead of pointing to "/Repositories". Cheers, hvr
