Sorry for replying so late, this mail was sorted into a category I mostly
don't read.

I see that there is now a repo on github:
https://github.com/ghc/packages-binary
However, it's a completely different conversion from darcs than the one I
did earlier.

Please base the GHC copy of binary on the conversion I've already done, as
both Johan and I have done work in this repo. You won't be able to pull the
changes otherwise.

I think it might be a good idea to keep the copy of binary separate from the
GHC copy, as GHC probably wants more stability than what we might provide in
the short term future.

Regarding where the upstream location should be, I guess my repo is the
current location where development is done.
It's not important to me that it's in my account though, as binary is a
community effort. Maybe it should be based in some kind of Haskell Community
account? If not, I'll keep it.
