Re: RFC: changes to -i flag for finding source files

Thanks for all the feedback. Clearly opinion is divided on this one, so I'll sit on it and think it through some more.

My assumption was that with what Felipe Lessa suggested, this proposal is pretty much obsolete. As I understand it, it provides the same benefits, the major difference being that you create a symlink instead of specifying a command line flag. It has been pointed out that symlinks work just fine with git. I can see two advantages of this approach over the original proposal: - Cabal and other tools will continue to work without any modification - Somebody working with your code who is not aware of the "shortcut", will still find the source files where he expects them Are there any disadvantages? Cheers.
