 I have some problems with the repositories. When i try to clone from the
 official repo:

 {{{
 » git clone --single-branch --branch master --depth=1 --recursive
 git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git ghc-head
 Cloning into 'ghc-head'...
 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
 fatal: early EOF
 fatal: index-pack failed
 }}}

 Maybe it's because the git server version is old (1.9.1). Without
 `--depth=1` it works, but anyway it's an issue.

 With the github mirror i have another problem:

 {{{
 Cloning into 'libraries/Cabal'...
 fatal: remote error:
   ghc/packages/Cabal is not a valid repository name
   Email support at github.com for help
 fatal: clone of 'git://github.com/ghc/packages/Cabal.git' into submodule
 path 'libraries/Cabal' failed
 }}}

 With the phabricator repo the following issue:

 command:
 {{{
 git clone --depth=1 --single-branch --branch ghc-8.6 --recursive
 https://phabricator.haskell.org/diffusion/GHC/glasgow-haskell-compiler.git
 ghc-8.6-head
 }}}

 error:
 {{{
 Cloning into '.arc-linters/arcanist-external-json-linter'...
 error: RPC failed; HTTP 503 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 503
 first byte timeout
 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
 fatal: clone of 'https://phabricator.haskell.org/diffusion/GHC/arcanist-
 external-json-linter.git' into submodule path '.arc-linters/arcanist-
 external-json-linter' failed
 }}}
