Raising the bar for developers to contribute to a project has been proven to be a very bad idea many times. Let's not take GHC down that path. I don't especially relish having to learn another vcs tool or raising

I wonder how many of the libraries are "core" in that they need to be changed a lot for GHC?
The boot libraries, ie, those needed to build the HEAD of the ghc repo: SUBDIRS = ghc-prim $(INTEGER_LIBRARY) base array packedstring SUBDIRS += containers bytestring old-locale old-time filepath directory ifeq "$(GhcLibsWithUnix)" "YES" SUBDIRS += unix endif ifeq "$(Windows)" "YES" SUBDIRS += $(wildcard Win32) endif SUBDIRS += process pretty hpc template-haskell editline Cabal random haskell98 Here Cabal, is ghc variant of the Cabal repo, not the actually Cabal head. The whole point is to make sure that anybody who decides to hack GHC needs to install and learn just one vcs, not two. Manuel
