Hi,

I'm pleased to announce yet another tool for importing darcs repositories to git. Unlike darcs2git [1] and darcs-to-git [2], it's written in Haskell, on top of the darcs2 source code. The result is a much faster program - it can convert the complete ghc 6.9 branch (without libraries) in less than 15 minutes on my slightly dated machine (Athlon XP 2500+), which is quite fast [3]. Incremental updates work, too.

What's the appeal of this? I personally love git, but I thought all the cool kids at this school used darcs and that was that. -- Darrin
