Rather follow

  https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources#GettingabranchGHC7.9orlater

and/or

  https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions/Git/Submodules

i.e.

  git clone -b ghc-7.10 --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git

or (if you have already a GHC 7.9.x tree cloned out), use

  git checkout ghc-7.10 && git submodule update --init

to switch to the ghc-7.10 branch (and update the submodules)
