Re: 7.8 branch is created, HEAD is now open, and a note on merges

The 7.8 branch is officially ready for RC1 (after some final Haddock bugs got quickly squashed by Gergo and Mateusz.)
Excellent, folks!
Alternatively, simply checking out to the 'ghc-7.8' branch will result in the same thing - no new commits will go in until after RC1:
$ git clone -b ghc-7.8 git://git.haskell.org/ghc ghc-7.8 $ cd ghc-7.8 $ ./sync-all get -b ghc-7.8 --extra --nofib
For some reason, I get this for the last command: == running git clone git://git.haskell.org/libffi-tarballs.git libffi-tarballs -b ghc-7.8 --extra --nofib error: unknown option `extra'

Whoops, I typo'd that. You need to specify '--extra --nofib' before the
'get', not after!
