|  Hi Simon,
|  
|  This happens because the locations of the submodules are specified
|  using relative paths from the main GHC repository, but Tritlo has only
|  made a fork of the main GHC repo, not all the submodules. I would do
|  this:
|  
|  * Clone from the main GHC repo (including submodules) however you
|  usually do it (e.g., git clone --recursive
|  https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git)
|  * Add Tritlo's ghc repo as a remote: git remote add tritlo
|  git at github.com:Tritlo/ghc.git
|  * Fetch from the new remote: git fetch tritlo
|  * Check out the branch you want: git checkout tritlo/<branch-name>
|  
|  Here "tritlo" is just a name for the remote within your local ghc
|  checkout, so it can be anything you choose.
|  
|  Regards,
|  Reid Barton
