Specific information about darcs and git is here:
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/DarcsGit
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/News/Announce1%2e0%2e3
http://www.mail-archive.com/darcs-users%40darcs.net/msg00059.html
but I'd say DarcsGit isn't ready for prime time yet.

It would be great if the submission and discussion could be done on a
visible mailing list. Then SmartEiffel would truly feel like a community
project. Naturally the SE team still get to decide what changes they
include in their repository.

Together with Eric Bezault's announcement of Gobo 3.4 (including support
for SmartEiffel 2.x), this greatly increases the viability of
SmartEiffel (and of Eiffel as a whole). Thanks!
