+1 from me. I only use it for `get` command after changing branches,
and I think I can just as easily do same thing with `git submodule
update --checkout`. (is that right?)

Hello ghc-devs,
I would like to delete the file sync-all from the GHC repository. It should not have been necessary to use it for about a year now.
To get the sources:
git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git cd ghc git clone git://git.haskell.org/ghc-tarballs.git # Windows only
To update an existing tree: git pull --rebase
git submodule update --init
To update an existing tree, without the possibility to forget to run `git submodule update --init`: git config --global alias.pullall '!f(){ git pull --ff-only "$@" && git submodule update --init --recursive; }; f' # Run once git pullall --rebase
Please speak up if you want those 1000 lines of buggy Perl a.k.a. sync-all to stay for some reason, or if you have questions about a certain git submodules workflow.
The source code (./boot no longer suggests it) and the wiki are already sync-all free, except for a few historical pages.
Discussion period: 1 month.
Thomas
