Strange library git glitch

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Thanks.  It does have a directory dist-install/ in it - but that's put there by the build system, so if I remove it, it'll just come back.  And other libraries (like deepseq) has dist-install too but does not complain.  So mysterious.

On the other hand git submodule update -recursive *did* fix it.  Seems odd.  I'm already saying "submodules" and I don' think any submodules have further submodules - or do they?

My bad, it seems like this is another issue.

I found this StackOverflow page quite helpful in explaining the hows and whys:

Hi Simon,

I usually manage to get it to disappear by using `git submodule update --recursive`.
Is it a flag you've used in your previous attempts?

Cheers,

Hécate.

No amount of git submodule update makes it go away.  Any ideas?
