Darcs

As things stand, it is actually IMPOSSIBLE for a Windows user to get a Darcs repo onto their machine

* darcs pull -a http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
        fails with the case-sensitivity bug

* Get the tarball http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-HEAD-2007-12-16-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2
  darcs pull -a http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
        fails with the gzopening bug

I believe, however, that if we put up a recent tarball of the GHC repo (replacing the one above, and all earlier versions), the getting that and pulling would work.

It's embarrassing not being able to get the sources at all.

So, do you think you could replace
        http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-HEAD-2007-12-16-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2
with a more recent version?

Thanks

Simon
