libraries/Cabal difference on haskell.org and github.com

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

I'm still fighting with how to precisely get ghc source tree from 
github.com. Now I see some issues with libraries/Cabal, concretely what 
you get from github.com is different to what you get from 
haskell.org/ghc.git.

 From haskell.org:

$ ls -la libraries/Cabal/
total 30

and from github.com:

both trees were obtained by classical `sync-all get'. Because github.com 
tree is different it also means that build fails just at its start 
complaining about missing libraries/Cabal/cabal/ghc.mk -- or something 
like that, I don't remember exactly and xterm is closed already. Of 
course I can provide on request.

My question is: is it already know issue? Or have I done anything wrong 
with this?

Thanks,
Karel
