fyi, libraries/Cabal is a submodule, so here's what you should do,
(assuming you've ghc's checkout is at its latest state):


  # update/checkout submodule to latest commit from Cabal's master branch
  git submodule update --remote libraries/Cabal

  # test ./validate still works

  # record submodule update in git index
  git add libraries/Cabal

  # create commit, and make sure the commit msg contains the 
  # magic word "submodule"
  git commit 

  # ...
  git push
