Cloning ghc-7.8

[Simon Peyton Jones]

I tried the sequence below and got this:

simonpj at cam-05-unx:~/code/ghc-7.8-branch$<mailto:simonpj at cam-05-unx:~/code/ghc-7.8-branch$> git checkout ghc-7.8

warning: unable to rmdir utils/haddock: Directory not empty

M    libraries/Cabal

M    libraries/binary

M    libraries/vector

Branch ghc-7.8 set up to track remote branch ghc-7.8 from origin.

Switched to a new branch 'ghc-7.8'

simonpj at cam-05-unx:~/code/ghc-7.8-branch$ ls utils/haddock/

Notice the bit in red, and the lack of a submodule update message with I did "git submodule update". This is a completely fresh tree, newly cloned from the main repo.
Thanks

How would I get a GHC 7.8 branch repo?  Something like

git clone http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git ghc-7.8-branch

cd ghc-7.8-branch

./sync-all get

git checkout ghc-7.8

git submodule update
Is that enough?  What about the non-submodule libraries?  Do I need to do any more pull/get stuff?
This would be another great entry on the workflow page.
Thanks
Simon
