There are 100 git repo for every Darcs repo.

Actually, I keep a comprehensive collection of Haskell repos locally for use as a corpus, including things like a complete copy of all Haskell* GitHub repos circa March 2011, and the Git repos number 4,679 and the Darcs repos number 984. 100:1 is quite an exaggeration of 5:1.

* stuff detected as having Haskell, so it's overly broad and is an upper bound

There's a bit of confusion here. Alfredo was referring to git repositories in general, not Haskell repositories. You're assuming everyone who uses darcs are using it for Haskell. If I understand correctly, darcs is a general purpose VCS written in Haskell and thereby popular in the Haskell community. In any case, I see no reason to dig into an obviously used for illustration. Also, I don't care about the VCS. -- Johan Brinch
