I've made git mirrors of the current GHC HEAD repos (all of them), so people can try out their workflows with git. Hopefully this should work: git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-git/ghc.git cd ghc perl sync-all get You have to use sync-all instead of darcs-all, but the syntax is the same. e.g. to pull from upstream: perl sync-all pull Local clones should work: git clone <local-ghc-repo> cd ghc perl sync-all get and then a future 'perl sync-all pull' will pull fron the source, or you can pull from upstream with perl sync-all -r http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-git pull The -r flag takes a remote or local repository, and works with push/pull/get, just like darcs-all. Note that sync-all is not executable, which is why I used "perl sync-all" rather than ./sync-all. You can chmod it, but the chmod will be seen as a local change by git which will get in the way of future pulls, and you'll need to stash or merge or rebase the change (welcome to git :-). The mirroring is manual right now. I might make it automatic, but it's not cheap (a few minutes CPU time each time it is invoked). The GHC repo is missing a few tags, I'm currently trying to sort that out. I haven't set up .gitignore yet, that's also on the todo list. Cheers, Simon
