Naturally other workflows are possible and I'm sure other list members will chime in with their own favourites :-)
Here's the flow I use: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ with the exception of having the master branch be the development branch, which is what most Git users expect.
Ultimately I'm quite concerned with keeping GHC HQ happy (as you guys do the lions share of the work!). I feel we should only make the switch if the most frequent committers (i.e. Simon, Simon and Ian) are *totally happy* with it and any associated workflow changes that may be required.
I agree with this sentiment. If GHC HQ believes Git will make their job harder, I'm not in favor of a switch. (From personal experience I think it will make it easier after an initial short learning curve, but I cannot know this for certain of course.) Johan
