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 I've updated the branch
http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/log/refs/heads/wip/T8545
to include the full testsuite.git history, with the history rewritten as if the files have been always in the 'testsuite/' folder, and with the blobs removed; moreover I've tweaked the sync-all script to check for a left-over testsuite/.git folder, to remind users to move it out of the way.
If the old commit IDs are really needed, one would think it wouldn't be too hard to write them into the commit message while rewriting history. That way you could at least `git log --grep` IIRC. Cheers, - Ben
