why not ask hugs/nhc maintainers to switch to git too?
it seems that darcs while being good solution for small/medium
programs, hardly may be used for ghc. so, probably it should be
divided to 2 parts: "large things" including compilers and corelibs
should go into git and "small things" including all the 3rd-party libs
should stay with darcs
