The next steps, however, include taking care of the client-side work-flow for working with a fully "submoduled" ghc.git setup.
[...] After having discussed this with the current Haddock maintainers (i.e. Simon and Mateusz) who are volunteering to help ironing out the Git workflow with submodules by having haddock.git turned into one, I plan to convert utils/haddock into a proper submodule by the end of this weekend (i.e. 2014-03-22/23). This will allow us to gain experience with submodules for a single submodule while only very few developers are actively affected (as only few developers currently push directly to haddock.git these days) and write up Git-workflow-with-submodules documentation somewhere at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions/Git Details will follow when the conversion of haddock.git is actually implemented.
