Errors in haddock git fetch

[Sylvain Henry]

> error: cannot lock ref  'refs/remotes/origin/wip/hsyl20/dynflags': 
'refs/remotes/origin/wip/hsyl20/dynflags/exception' exists; cannot 
create 'refs/remotes/origin/wip/hsyl20/dynflags'

This one is because I've removed some of my wip branches already merged 
upstream. Their names were conflicting with a new branch name 
(wip/hsyl20/dynflags).

I forgot that everyone fetches every /wip branch so now it conflicts for 
everyone... I need to remember to remove the branch when !5845 will be 
merged.

No. The submodule seems to be checked out correctly even with the error.

PS: I still think we shouldn't have that many wip branches in the main 
repositories (cf
