HEADS-UP: Git submodule conversion imminent

Wed Jun 25 08:46:06 UTC 2014

It's done!

After pulling the latest ghc.git commit (and assuming you have made sure
you have no unpushed data laying around in the repos listed below)
you'll have to either run

 - git submodule update --init

*or*

 - ./sync-all get

   (a mere "./sync-all pull" will just call "git submodule update" w/o
    the "--init" option)

After that, a 'git submodule status' (for ghc.git @ db19c665e) should look like

N.B.: The very first character in each line is a single whitespace. If
there's a '-' or '+' your submodule are not in the commit state recorded
in ghc.git (a '-' specifically means the submodule is not initialized
properly)

For further information, please read the current documentation at

  https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions/Git/Submodules

and let me know what all needs to improved.
