darcs versus git

At the moment, I'm using darcs for Moing. While I don't hate darcs (and I rather admire its model of patch commutation), I still prefer git for most things, particularly when working with branches. I'm going to try and stick with darcs for the sake of compatibilty with the Haskell community, but if things get too uncomfortable we will probably end up switching to git.

Yeah, I was actually the one to persuade mental to use darcs a while back. Since then, however, git is looking better.

The familiarity of haskellers with darcs is definitely a win though. We're more likely to get interested haskell coders than people interested in animation software who will learn haskell for it. I suppose once moing is quite good there's a possibility of some of the latter.
