So, the question is: should we go ahead and pull the trigger on some of these perhaps? Herbert collected some numbers on the git repositories and outlined all the basic details here:

The only thing I'd honestly propose right now is folding 'testsuite' into the main repository, but of course we should see what people think
Fyi, I've drafted how the change would look like in the new ghc.git branch 'wip/T8545' so we can test/evaluate the effects/fallout before peforming this operation on 'master'. So running git clone -b wip/T8545 git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git cd ghc/ ./sync-all get should result in a new checkout including the folded-in testsuite/ folder. PS: If we decide to fold in `base` too (which imho would make life easier for GHC devs as it reduces exposure to confusing git-submodule effects) I think we should also fold in ghc-prim/integer-{gmp,simple} in, as `base` depends on those and they're even more tightly coupled to GHC than `base` is and so imho don't benefit much from being kept in a separate Git repo.
