Hi all,
It seems that while most people are in favor of migrating and
preserving the history there are a few sticky bits concerning some of
the minor details. So I think the discussion should continue, but we
clearly shouldn't pull the trigger quite yet. testsuite etc will live
on for a while longer.
In the mean time, maintaining a branch is relatively minimal cost, so
whatever solution we come up with won't hurt too badly in the mean
time.

I'm confused. We definitely do have clickable commit links, inserted automatically by the post-commit hook, e.g.:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8577#comment:21
Those links would break if the hashes change, right?
but, as Herbert pointed out, these links point to the testsuite repository explicitly (deadbeef/testsuite). If there did not do that, they would be dead already (e.g. if someone would write them manually and not paying attention to that).
And since they are qualified by the repository they point to, they will continue to point to the (then uncontinued, but unmodified) testsuite repository. Which is – I believe – sufficient to make sense out of old tickets.
The links to the ghc repository are of course unchanged, there is no plan to rewrite history here.
Ah yes, I see. That's fine then.
Cheers, Simon
