Hello everyone,

The GHC team is very happy to announce the availability of GHC 8.6.4, a bugfix release in the GHC 8.6 series.

There doesn't seem to be a ghc-8.6.4-release tag of http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git? Can you advise me on a magic invocation that would let me get a checkout of the repository at the release SHA?

Oh wait! Is it the SHA in the file `GIT_COMMIT_ID`?

No, apparently not: ``` fatal: reference is not a tree: aac18e9a08e6de9648e1a62d849dcd409f407df8 ``` Related : the `ANNOUNCE` file at least seems very out-of-date.

Hi Shayne, You should find the tag on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc, which is now the official upstream. That being said, I am a bit surprised that it wasn't mirrored to git.haskell.org. Cheers, - Ben
