Not really a Haskell question but I'm not sure where else to go. What's the preferred method of converting a darcs repository to git? And is there a way of converting from git to darcs? The reason I ask is that my colleague cannot get darcs to work on his Windows box. Thanks, Dominic.

The best place to ask would be the darcs-users mailing list: http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users What's the preferred method of converting a darcs repository to git? And
is there a way of converting from git to darcs?
Never tried it personally, but I think tailor can do this: http://progetti.arstecnica.it/tailor The reason I ask is that my colleague cannot get darcs to work on his
Windows box.
I think there are windows binaries floating around. If you ask on the darcs-users list I think someone can get this squared away for you. Whether you need help building or just getting binary that works. Thanks, Jason

The reason I ask is that my colleague cannot get darcs to work on his Windows box. If you have trouble you may also want to try the #darcs chat channel on irc.freenode.net.. Those people want to help if they can.
You should also be able to find some info on haskell.org/ghc (use the search) because of the recent discussion about switching to git for ghc developement. By the way the cygwin git version did work best for me (due to file permissions.. git gui does'nt work though - maybe I've missed some options as well?) Marc
the mingw git worked flawlessly for me (and will be certainly a lot less of
hassle, if one tries to remain cygwin-free). their version of git-gui also
works (i didn't test it extensively).

featuring an installer as well ;-)
as for darcs, look here:
http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/CategoryBinaries#head-c7910dd98302946c671cf6...
the darcsdir-w32 works fine without cygwin, just supply wget or curl ..

I use darcs on Windows every day and it works well. The only problem
is that it is not very usable if you access your repository via SSH
and the authentication is via password.

Why not? It worked fine for me.
It's never worked for me, I always get a frozen darcs trying to read a password, but not from my console. If you connect with an SSH key its more secure and less typing - it's a better way to go.

Yes, I've used SSH key. Didn't think it would be different with a password. On 7 Oct 2008, at 20:19, Mitchell, Neil wrote:

It really is! :-) Thanks Neil

GHC uses http://darcs.haskell.org/bin/darcs-to-git which is a fork of
http://github.com/purcell/darcs-to-git
It's not very fast, but it works well enough. I tried tailor only
briefly but it failed on its own test suite and I didn't bother to
investigate any further.
