Dear ghc devs, I'm doing some archeology of the GHC codebase, and I need to map every release to a given git tag/commit/hash. So far, based on the official webpage and Github mirror, I have done it for releases from 7.2.1 until 8.0.1. However, it is not clear to me: - whether there is a corresponding point in history for releases before 7.2.1 - what are the corresponding commits, if any
From what I can get at a glance, at this point in time the source code was managed in a DARCS repository, right?
Would you please be so kind to point me in the right direction, in order to correctly perform this mapping? Thanks in advance! -- Ismael

I'm afraid this is well before my time. However, I'm CCing Ian who may have something to offer here. However, I'm afraid it's possible that this information is lost to time, especially if you need the corresponding core library commits as well. Regardless, good luck! Cheers, - Ben
