Hi, Duncan - The subject says it all. I'd like to contribute some patches to bytestring, but darcs is a big wall at this point, and the package has no bug tracker. I'd like to move it under http://github.com/haskell, a place that has served several of our core packages well.
I know you're fond of darcs, but it's well established by experience that we'll get many more contributions (both patches and problem reports) on github.
I am now forced to use git in many projects and on a monthly basis we have problems with patches accidentally pushed on the wrong branch, that are hard to remove.
git revert (Note that it can handle a range of commits)
It's much more difficult to run tests per commit,
I don't understand what you mean... can you elaborate?
which causes many patches to go into the repository that break the package. For me please no more git, and no more github!
