We're intrested in opinions from both active and potential GHC developers/contributors. Let us know what you think - would this make life harder or easier for you? Would it make you less likely or more likely to contribute?
I would really like GHC to move to git. I find darcs pretty annoying when working in a branch and the performance still just isn't good enough (e.g can't use 'annotate'). I've been a big fan of git from pretty much as soon as I started using it, its interface is badly designed at times but with the help of google I've always been able to get it to do what I want. Defiantly can't say the same for darcs. It didn't stop me contributing but when I first started hacking on ghc I was very put of by darcs as I had only recently got over the nightmares of the very common exponential merge issue from 1.x days.
